I'm tired of seeing screenfuls of messages like these when using automake 1.13 (Fedora 19):

These were driving me crazy, but I thought we had no other option than to leave this due to compatibility. Thanks for finding the way out of this. Unfortunately, 1.14 complains about subdir-objects way more than about anything else and I still haven't found the way out of that one.
seeing as how we MUST use those constructs for the benefit of automake 1.9 (RHEL 5). Conversely, RHEL 5 automake complained:
aclocal:configure.ac:36: warning: macro `AM_SILENT_RULES' not found in library
Obviously, I tested this patch on both Fedora 19 and RHEL 5.
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Avoid obsoletion warnings. (AM_SILENT_RULES): Avoid unknown macro warning.

Funny that only simple grep is used to identify these. ACK, Martin
