<p>Out of curiosity, couldn't we also just add <code>foreign</code> to <code>AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()</code> to prevent it from complaining about missing the boilerplate files like <code>README</code>, <code>INSTALL</code>, <code>ChangeLog</code>, etc? I do this on some personal projects and it seems to work fine when I have a <code>README.md</code> file instead of <code>README</code>.</p>
