Well, for each AC_SUBSTed variable in configure.ac, Automake generates a
line of the form

  VARIABLE = @VARIABLE@

in Makefile.in, so that you can later use $(VARIABLE) instead of
@VARIABLE@ everywhere; and, so that you have a chance to override 
the value of $(VARIABLE) -- your settings come after the one by
Automake, so they will take precedence.  (There are cases where
it may not work as easily, but I can't think of one off-hand now.)

Maybe you should add a note to that line that, once your project
can assume Automake-1.10, it should be replaced with a proper
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS setting.

Cheers,
Ralf
