Add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to your configure.{ac,in}, run autoconf again and
these rules will be disabled unless you supply the
--enable-maintainer-mode option to configure.

Alternatively don't commit any autoconf, automake or aclocal generated
file to CVS, and run 'autoreconf -i' after checkout.  To ensure the
right versions are used, set a minimum version of each tool using
AC_PREREQ and AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macros.
