Well, the problem is mostly that there are no active maintainers on
the Autotools.  So it is not that the comment is disregarded, it's
just that there's no-one on the other end.

And fortunately, this is changing: Zack Weinberg is currently wrapping
the next release of Autoconf, and maybe he plans them to move onto
Automake.  I don't know about that.
