I don't understand what the problem is. We can rename sharefiles.mk
to sharefiles.mk.in and just copy it to sharefiles.mk at build time
(I guess this means there needs to be a rule for that in Makefile.am).
Then sharefiles.mk will get bundled into the tarball for the benefit of
those who are building without automake.
