So, is there a strict reason for the *inc.am naming? Reading through [1]
Missing reference for [1] :)
gave me
the necessary background, but is there an inherent issue naming all of the
Makefiles in subdirectories to Makefile.am, I mean, we'd still end up including
those, or does that go against some automake rules?
I think the use of the .inc.am extension is intended to make it
obvious that it's a snippet that will be included rather than a
standalone file: as a test, I tried renaming one of the snippets
from .inc.am to .am and I was still able to distcheck.
CC'ing Dan for context, since he's the one who introduced
snippets in the first place.
