 Well, adding a definition of the $(datarootdir) variable like this:

datarootdir = @datadir@
datadir = $(datarootdir)

should not require any updates for tools and can then be converted to the 
final form of:

datarootdir = @datarootdir@
datadir = @datadir@

for Makefile.in or removed altogether for Makefile.am files once the tools 
have been updated.  At least it seems to work on my system. :-)
