Better would be to have generic automake add-ons.  I've wanted to add
classes of build types to automake for several reasons, including
building kernel modules and for things like specialib.  For libtool,
it's all hard-coded in automake itself, which is why it works.  Using
Makefile snippets is less than ideal.
