Title:
  Update to latest 1.14 automake

Status in “automake1.13” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This release comes with two important changes:

    1. It introduces a new feature aimed at making the implementation
       of non-recursive build systems more convenient and manageable
       (thanks to the new support for the '%reldir%' and '%canon_reldir%'
       automake-time substitutions).

    2. It improves the handling of C compiles not supporting the conjunct
       use of the '-c' and '-o' options (unfortunately, this improvement
       comes with a couple of minor backward-incompatibilities, described
       in detail in the NEWS section below).  Among th other things, this
       means that you no longer need to explicitly call the AM_PROG_CC_C_O
       macro yourself in configure.ac (pre-existing invocation of this
       macro are of course still accepted and correctly working, for the
       sake of backward-compatibility).

  The 1.14 release also introduces new (non-fatal) runtime warnings to
  simplify the transition to Automake 2.0.  You are free to ignore such
  warnings for now, but should address them before the transition to
  Automake 2.0 (whose ETA is about one year from now, maybe more, so no
  need to hurry yet).
