- Fix a minor regression introduced in Automake 1.13.3: when two or more
user-defined suffix rules were present in a single Makefile.am,
automake would needlessly include definition of some make variables
related to C compilation in the generated Makefile.in (bug#14560).
- Patches updated to they apply cleanly and with no offset.

* Documentation fixes:
- The documentation no longer mistakenly reports that the
obsolete 'AM_MKDIR_PROG_P' macro and '$(mkdir_p)' make variable
are going to be removed in Automake 2.0.
* Bugs fixed:
- Byte-compilation of Emacs lisp files could fail spuriously on
Solaris, when /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh were used as shell.
- If the same user-defined suffixes were transformed into
different Automake-known suffixes in different Makefile.am
files in the same project, automake could get confused and
generate inconsistent Makefiles (automake bug#14441).
For example, if 'Makefile.am' contained a ".ext.cc:" suffix
rule, and 'sub/Makefile.am' contained a ".ext.c:" suffix rule,
automake would have mistakenly placed into 'Makefile.in' rules
to compile "*.c" files into object files, and into
'sub/Makefile.in' rules to compile "*.cc" files into object
files --- rather than the other way around. This is now fixed.
- Several spurious failures have been fixed (they hit especially
MinGW/MSYS builds). See automake bugs #14493, #14494, #14495,
#14498, #14499, #14500, #14501, #14517 and #14528.
- Some other minor miscellaneous changes and fixlets.

- Remove aclocal-am_ac.patch and aclocal-am_ac.sh as they aren't
needed anymore and instead cause havok.
- Update to 1.13.2 (for the full change log please see the file NEWS
in the package documentation):
* Obsolescent features:
- Use of suffix-less info files (that can be specified through the
'@setfilename' macro in Texinfo input files) is discouraged, and
its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete' category.
- Use of Texinfo input files with '.txi' or '.texinfo' extensions
is discouraged, and its use will raise warnings in the 'obsolete'
category. You are advised to simply use the '.texi' extension
instead.
* Documentation fixes:
- The long-deprecated but still supported two-arguments invocation form
of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is documented once again.
* Bugs fixed:
- When the 'ustar' option is used, the generated configure script no
longer risks hanging during the tests for the availability of the
'pax' utility, even if the user running configure has a UID or GID
that requires more than 21 bits to be represented.
- The obsolete macros AM_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_PROG_CC_STDC work once
again, as they did in Automake 1.12.x (albeit printing runtime
warnings in the 'obsolete' category).
- aclocal will no longer error out if the first local m4 directory
(as specified by the '-I' option or the 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS' or
'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR' macros) doesn't exist; it will merely report
a warning in the 'unsupported' category.
- aclocal will no longer consider directories for extra m4 files more
than once, even if they are specified multiple times.

- Update to version 1.13.1:
* Bugs fixed:
- Use of the obsolete macros AM_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_PROG_CC_STDC now
causes a clear and helpful error message, instead of obscure ones
(issue introduced in Automake 1.13).
- Remove config-guess-sub-update.diff; config.guess and config.sub are
not included anymore in /lib
- Clean the specfile; remove useless conditionnal macros
- Automake now provide manfiles by default and help2man is not required
anymore
- Run pre_checkin.sh to sync automake-testsuite pec and .changes.
- Update to 1.12.3:
- reworks and reshuffles the Automake testsuite a bit; fixing some
weaknesses and spurious failures in the process, but also, likely,
introducing new ones;
- introduces initial support for automatic dependency tracking with
the Portland Group C/C++ compilers (thanks to Dave Goodell and
Jeff A. Daily);
- fixes several long-standing bugs and limitations in the 'ylwrap'
script (thanks to Akim Demaille); among the other things, the
long-standing PR/491 and automake bug#7648 are now fixed.
- make sure we still define $(mkdir_p) for the time being

- Update to 1.12.1:
Bugs fixed in 1.12.1:
- Several weaknesses in Automake's own build system and test suite
have been fixed.
- Aclocal works correctly with perl 5.16.0 (automake bug#11543).
- Starting from either the next minor version (1.12.2) or the next major
version (1.13), Automake will start warning if 'configure.in' is used
instead of 'configure.ac' as the Autoconf input. Future versions of
Automake will drop support for 'configure.in' altogether.

* Changes to Yacc and Lex support:
- C source and header files derived from non-distributed Yacc
and/or Lex sources are now removed by a simple "make clean"
(while they were previously removed only by "make
maintainer-clean").
- Slightly backward-incompatible change, relevant only for use of
Yacc with C++: the extensions of the header files produced by the
Yacc rules are now modelled after the extension of the
corresponding sources. For example, yacc files named "foo.y++"
and "bar.yy" will produce header files named "foo.h++" and
"bar.hh" respectively, where they would have previously produced
header files named simply "foo.h" and "bar.h". This change
offers better compatibility with 'bison -o'.
* Miscellaneous changes:
- The AM_PROG_VALAC macro now causes configure to exit with status
77, rather than 1, if the vala compiler found is too old.
- The build system of Automake itself now avoids the use of make
recursion as much as possible.
- Automake now prefers to quote 'like this' or "like this", rather
than `like this', in diagnostic message and generated Makefiles,
to accommodate the new GNU Coding Standards recommendations.
- Automake has a new option '--print-libdir' that prints the path
of the directory containing the Automake-provided scripts and
data files.
- The 'dist' and 'dist-all' targets now can run compressors in
- parallel.
- The rules to create pdf, dvi and ps output from Texinfo files now
works better with modern 'texi2dvi' script, by explicitly passing
it the '--clean' option to ensure stray auxiliary files are not

Bugs fixed:
- Vala files with '.vapi' extension are now recognized and handled
correctly again. See automake bug#11222.
- Vala support again works for projects that contain some program
built from '.vala' (and possibly '.c') sources and some other
program built from '.c' sources *only*.
New in 1.11.4:
* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibilities!
- The support for the "obscure" multilib feature has been
deprecated, and will be moved out of the automake core in the
next major Automake release (1.12).
- The support for ".log -> .html" conversion and the check-html
and recheck-html targets will be removed in the next major
Automake release (1.12).
- The obsolescent AM_WITH_REGEX macro has been deprecated (since
the GNU rx library has been decommissioned), and will be
removed in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- The 'lzma' compression format for distribution archives has
been deprecated in favor of `xz' and `lzip', and will be
removed in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- The '--acdir' option of aclocal is deprecated, and will
probably be removed in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- The exact order in which the directories in the aclocal macro
search path are looked up is probably going to be changed in
the next Automake release (1.12).
- The Automake support for automatic de-ANSI-fication will be
removed in the next major Automake release (1.12).
- Starting from the next Automake release (1.12), warnings in the
`extra-portability' category will be enabled by `-Wall' (right
