I should have added that you will need to follow this with:

AC_SUBST(QMDIR)

so that Makefile.in can find it.

These should all be in an autoconf macro definition in your aclocal.m4 file, 
(that is, in a definition defined with AC_DEFUN).

'info autoconf' will give you further information.  If none of it makes sense, 
use automake.
