this is not exactly true. The prefix is added to program_transform_name
by AC_ARG_PROGRAM, which is usually called by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
Thus it should be enough if you place this
case $program_prefix in
NONE) program_prefix=foo ;;
esac
somewhere between AC_INIT and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.

I have a generalized proposal in mind. Stay tuned, I hope to post it
in a few days...
Have a nice day,
