While upstreaming the Algol 68 autoconf support it was pointed out that the shell variable A68 should be renamed to A68C and that the macro AC_PROG_A68 should be renamed to AC_PROG_A68C. This is to be more consistent to the support for other languages like Go. This patch updates the Automake side.

Primarily from https://bugs.gnu.org/69908. * bin/automake.in (preprocess_file) <DIST_BUILT_SOURCES>: make the option name be "no-dist-built-sources", per Options.pm and automake.texi; then set it with a single !. * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir) [DIST_BUILT_SOURCES]: insert the dependency on $(BUILT_SOURCES) when DIST_BUILT_SOURCES is true, not false; i.e., sense was reversed. * t/dist-no-built-sources.sh: edit the test configure.ac in the no-dist-built-sources case. Rename the testopt value to match the Automake option. * NEWS: mention this.
de96135b 2025-02-23 10:38:57 doc: tar-pax also works around too-large uid/gid for tar. From https://bugs.gnu.org/73316. * doc/automake.texi (Basics of Distribution): also mention the tar-pax format as a fix for out of range uid/gid for tar.

381c96b2 2025-02-03 18:26:53 tests: use `printf' instead of `echo' * t/ax/tap-functions (diag_): Use `printf' instead of `echo' in case `echo' processes backslash escapes or the argument looks like an option.

0ea7ef97 2025-02-09 09:36:24 python: restore more compatible behavior for $PYTHON. For https://bugs.gnu.org/74434. * lib/py-compile: if $PYTHON -V does not include the string "python" (case-insensitive), consider the support intentionally disabled and exit successfully, unless PYTHON is set to false, in which case exit unsuccessfully. This is closer to the old behavior. Mention this in the help message. * t/py-compile-env.sh: add test for PYTHON=:. * NEWS: mention this. (And, en passant, add some past bug#s and clarify that only RCS/SCCS pattern rules were disabled, not all.)
