OK. Alexandre, I'm new to this, could you please suggest a name for the
macro?

OK, I agree. The same with INSTALL.
For consistency, I'd call the trace macro for top_buildir and buildir, too.
Notes:
1) top_buildir is currently computed statically by Automake. But I think
that the general mechanism should be prefered.
2) @top_buildir@ currently slightly differs from Automake's top_buildir,
but I have a patch in my queue which fixes this. By the time I add the
trace call for top_buildir, both will be consistent.
3) You said you don't want `buildir = .' in Automake-generated makefiles.
Can you implement this exception on Automake's side? Or will you give up?
Again, I think that using the general mechanism here is the best option.
Have a nice day,
Stepan Kasal
