Ok, thanks.  I really read the patch this time and it looks fine.

What if we require a specific piece of text for the single-argument
form?  I've occasionally regretted allowing any text as the 3rd
argument.  One idea that used to get kicked around was having the 3rd
argument be like the new AM_AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS -- but we couldn't do
that for compatibility reasons.  Maybe we could rectify this error
now.
