With automake version 1.13.2 (which comes in debian testing/jessie),
we were starting to get these warnings by default:
...
Running automake --foreign ...

We simply follow the warning's recommendation of using AM_CPPFLAGS instead
(CPP meaning C PreProcessor, not C Plus Plus), as explained in
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Program-Variables.html
The deprecation of INCLUDES has been very long there already (since 2002,
therefore Automake 1.7), and we already depend on automake 1.10.
