Ralf,

You may be interested in the book I'm working on for Autotools at

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/books/autotools_a_guide_to_autoconf_automake_libtool

Please note that this is a work in progress -- I've only just begun this 
project, and thus only the first three chapters contain any real 
information. Unfortunately, I haven't started on my automake chapter yet 
(that's Chapter 4), but there is a fair amount of generic information 
about the problems that automake tries to solve in Chapters 1 and 2.
