automake - ignoring requisite files: missing,depcomp and install-sh

I am running automake with the --foreign switch, but I am getting errors
during build.

configure.ac:26: required file `./missing' not found
configure.ac:26: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing'
configure.ac:26: required file `./install-sh' not found
configure.ac:26: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh'
src/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
src/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp

I know that these files can be generated using the add-missing tool. I
would like to suppress installation of these files altogether. Is that
possible?

Is there any documentation relating to the purpose of these files?

Mark.
