hmm, after a bit of research, i find that not automake needs these 
files, but rather the "gnu-strictness".

why not using "automake --foreign" instead of "automake --gnu 
--add-missing" (which is the root of all evil) in bootstrap.sh ?

i admit that i do not know, what the gnu-strictness is (except that it 
enforces certain files, like INSTALL, to be present) and what the 
benefits over other strictnesses (like "foreign") are, except that it is 
using the buzzword "gnu".
