Actually, all of this discussion has basically become quite moot after we
have decided to share the option parsing code between Autoconf and Automake,
and implemented that decision:

  <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=52246cc7>

I'm thus closing this bug report for good now, without tagging it as "wontfix".
