As said on IRC, I'm sorry but I don't think I really like this.

We already have a mechanism to override steps in Makefile.autotools.in.
I'd prefer to see if we can rely on a similar mechanism rather than
doing this.

In the future, is it possible to discuss such infrastructure changes on
the list beforehand ?

Thanks,

Thomas
