"and"? If you're patching both the sources *and* the generated files,
couldn't you wind up in a situation where the source is newer than the
generated files (i.e., the source gets patched after the generated
file)?
Use 'touch --reference' and submit an patch to upstream which adds
'AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' to configure.ac.
