The rationale of Automake authors for not supporting wildcards is that it prevents broken commits where somebody forgot to svn add the crucial file.
If I write #include "johan.h"
johan_method_do_stuff(1,2,3); in an existing file and forget to svn add it, it breaks the automake build.
It also allows one to build different applications out of a single directory, like we do with inkscape and inkview. I'm not entirely convinced but I'll bear with it.
build inkscape with *.*, exclude inkview.cpp.
build inkview with *.*, exclude inkscape.cpp.
It's much shorter and understandable than: build inkscape with blah.cpp blah2.cpp uninterestinginformationhere.cpp, etc...
Both inkscape and inkview will need my supercool "johan.cpp" file anyway. :P
To be honest, I stopped caring about the build system. :S
