* 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
