recursion: support user-defined recursive targets
The user can now define his own recursive targets that recurse
in the directories specified in $(SUBDIRS). That can be done by
specifying the name of such targets in invocations of the new
'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' m4 macro.
The API goes like this:
$ cat configure.ac
AC_INIT([pkg-name], [1.0]
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS([foo])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile sub/Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
$ cat Makefile.am
SUBDIRS = sub
foo-local:
@echo This will be run by "make foo".
$ cat sub/Makefile.am
foo-local:
@echo This too will be run by a "make foo" issued either in
@echo the 'sub/' directory or in the top-level directory.
Like for the "default" recursive targets (e.g., 'all' and 'check'),
the user-defined recursive targets descend in the $(SUBDIRS) in a
depth-first fashion, and process '.' last (unless that is explicitly
specified in $(SUBDIRS)).
* NEWS, doc/automake.texi: Document the new feature.
* automake.in (@extra_recursive_targets): New global variable.
(scan_autoconf_traces): Trace macro '_AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS'.
(handle_user_recursion): New subroutine; among other things, it defines
the new internal '$(am__extra_recursive_targets)' make variable, and
the '*-am', '*-local' and '*-recursive' targets associated with the
user-specified user recursive targets.
(generate_makefile): Call the new subroutine.
* lib/am/subdirs.am (am__recursive_targets): New internal make variable,
listing all of '$(RECURSIVE_TARGETS)', '$(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)' and
'$(am__extra_recursive_targets)' together.
(AM_RECURSIVE_TARGETS): Adjust the definition of this variable ...
(.PHONY, .MAKE): ... and the list of dependencies of these special targets
to take advantage of the new '$(am__recursive_targets)' variable.
($(am__recursive_targets)): New targets, superseding ...
($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS), $(RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS)): ... these, and
inheriting their rules. This way, the rules to handle recursion for
built-in recursive targets (e.g., 'all', 'dvi', 'clean') and for user
defined recursive targets are the same.
* m4/extra-recurs.m4: New file, contain definition of new macro
'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' and '_AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS'.
These macros are basically dummy, only used for tracing by automake.
* m4/Makefile.am (dist_automake_ac_DATA): Update.
* t/recurs-user.sh: New test.
* t/recurs-user2.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-deeply-nested.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-indir.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-keep-going.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-many.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-no-subdirs.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-no-top-level.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-override.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-phony.sh: Likewise.
* t/recurs-user-wrap.sh: Likewise.
* t/remake-recurs-user.sh: Likewise.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Update.

This is Automake, a Makefile generator. It aims to be portable and
to conform to the GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and
targets.
See the INSTALL file for detailed information about how to configure
and install Automake.
Automake is a Perl script. The input files are called Makefile.am.
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done in your
configure.ac.
Automake comes with extensive documentation; please refer to it for
more details about its purpose, features, and usage patterns.
This package also includes the "aclocal" program, whose purpose is
to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.ac'.
It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting
autoconf. It is intended that other package authors will write m4
macros which can be automatically used by aclocal. The documentation
for aclocal is currently found in the Automake manual.
Automake has a test suite. Use "make check" to run it. For more
information, see the file t/README.
Automake has a page on the web. See:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
Automake also has three mailing lists:
* automake@gnu.org
For general discussions of Automake and its interactions with other
configuration/portability tools like Autoconf or Libtool.
* bug-automake@gnu.org
Where to send bug reports and feature requests.
* automake-patches@gnu.org
Where to send patches, and discuss the automake development process
and the design of new features.
To obtain more information about these list, or to subscribe to them,
refer to <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#mailinglists>
New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org. If you want to
be informed, subscribe to that list by following the instructions at
<http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autotools-announce>.
