The reason automake will change its behaviour in the future is that its
developers prefer a 'no subdir-objects' mode of operation. It will be the
default.
The 'subdir-objects' mode gives the 'old' (=current) behaviour.
I am inclined to think the automake developers have good reasons to change
automake's behaviour. 

When it is easy for an existing project like poppler to adopt to the new
default behaviour, I think it should choose to do so, instead of working around
it by using an option to enable old behaviour.

For me it is a lot like the situation with '--enable-xpdf-headers': there might
be good reasons to use that option, but I would strongly prefer it if people
didn't.
