Hmm, I see a natural split into two, not three nodes.
Ok, fine.
Below, I replaced the existing one rather than using another lower
hierarchy level. Does this seem acceptable to you?
Sure, but I suggest making the @node names closer to the @section names,
and not using that unusual-looking /.
@node amhello/configure.ac
->
@node amhello's configure.ac Setup Explained
@subsection Configure setup explained
->
@subsection @code{amhello}'s @file{configure.ac} Setup Explained
Ditto for the other node.
And then I think the upper-level menu could just use the node names.
(In general, despite longstanding precedent in various GNU manuals, my
belief is that it is not helpful to readers to have @node names that
unnecessarily differ from their section names. The result is confusion
when an xref is made.)
Re capitalization, I seem to recall that we tried to systematically
Capitalize Node/Section Names a while back. I don't see other downcased
names in the top-level menu just now, anyway.

Very good. Extra credit for thinking to do that :).
Thanks,
