Message : * automake.in (handle_lib_objects_cond): Prefer `$1' over `\1'. Minor rewrite for clarity. (check_canonical_spelling): Prefer `$1' over `\1'. * depend2.am (@OBJ@): Renamed. Use @SOURCE@, @COMPILE@. Always use `-o $@'. (@LTOBJ@): Likewise. * automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Don't print rule if doing dependency tracking and the file's language supports it. (initialize_per_input): Initialize lang_specific_files. (add_depend2): New function. (handle_dependencies): Use it. * automake.in (lang_ppf77_finish): Use lang_f77_finish. ratfor compiler name is `RCOMPILE'. ppf77 compiler name changed to `PPF77COMPILE' to allow use of f77 and ppf77 in the same directory. (lang_ratfor_finish): Use lang_f77_finish. * compile.am (NOTDEPEND.c.o): Removed. (OBJEXT.c.obj): Likewise. * automake.in: Added `flags' attribute to all relevant languages. (handle_single_transform_list): Handle per-derived-object flags. Changed interface and all callers. (handle_built_sources): Don't call handle_single_transform_list. Added `compile' and `compiler-name' attribute to all relevant languages. (finish_languages): Define compiler variables here. (lang_cxx_finish): Don't call define_compiler_variable. Don't define flag variable or .o rules. Don't add to @suffixes. (lang_f77_finish): Likewise. (lang_ppf77_finish): Likewise. (lang_objc_finish): Likewise. (lang_java_finish): Likewise. (finish_languages): Define flag variable here. Added `output-arg' attribute to all relevant languages. (finish_languages): Define `.o' rules here. (finish_languages): Put extension on @suffixes. (get_object_extension): Don't transform NOTDEPEND or MINUSO.

New in 1.4a:
* Many files (but not all) are correctly handled if they appear in subdirs
  For instance, a _DATA file can appear in a subdir
* GNU tar is no longer required for `make dist'
* Added support for `dist_' and `nodist_' prefixes
* Compiled Java support
* Support for per-executable and per-library compilation flags
* The usual bug fixes

New in 1.4:
* Added support for the Fortran 77 programming language.
* Re-indexed the Automake Texinfo manual.
* Added `AM_FOOFLAGS' variable for each compiler invocation;
  e.g. AM_CFLAGS can be used in Makefile.am to set C compiler flags
* Support for latest autoconf, including support for objext
* Can now put `.' in SUBDIRS to control build order
* `include' command and `+=' support for macro assignment
* Dependency tracking no long susceptible to deleted header file problem
* Maintainer mode now a conditional.  @MAINT@ is now an anachronism.
* Bug fixes

New in 1.3:
* Bug fixes
* Better Cygwin32 support
* Support for suffix rules with _SOURCES variables
* New options `readme-alpha' and `check-news'; Gnits mode sets these
* @LEXLIB@ no longer required when lex source seen
  Lex support in `missing', and new lex macro.  Update your missing script.
* Built-in support for assembly
* aclocal gives error if `AM_' macro not found
* Passed YFLAGS, not YACCFLAGS, to yacc 
* AM_PROG_CC_STDC does not have to come before AC_PROG_CPP
* Dependencies computed as a side effect of compilation
* Preliminary support for Java
* DESTDIR support at "make install" time
* Improved ansi2knr support; you must use the latest ansi2knr.c (included)

New in 1.2:
* Bug fixes
* Better DejaGNU support
* Added no-installinfo option
* Added Emacs Lisp support
* Added --no-force option
* Included `aclocal' program
* Automake will now generate rules to regenerate aclocal.m4, if appropriate
* Now uses `AM_' macro names everywhere
* ansi2knr option can have directory prefix (eg `../lib/ansi2knr')
  ansi2knr now works correctly on K&R sources
* Better C++, yacc, lex support
* Will compute _DEPENDENCIES variables automatically if not supplied
* Will interpolate $(...) and ${...} when examining contents of a variable
* .deps files now in build directory, not source directory; dependency
  handling generally rewritten
* DATA, MANS and BUILT_SOURCES no longer included in distribution
* can now put config.h into a subdir
* Added dist-all target
* Support for install-info program (see texinfo 3.9)
* Support for "yacc -d"
* configure substitutions are automatically discovered and included
  in generated Makefile.in
* Special --cygnus mode
* OMIT_DEPENDENCIES can now hold list of dependencies to be omitted
  when making distribution.  Some dependencies are auto-ignored.
* Changed how libraries are specified in _LIBRARIES variable
* Full libtool support, from Gord Matzigkeit
* No longer have to explicitly touch stamp-h when using AC_CONFIG_HEADER;
  AM_CONFIG_HEADER handles it automatically
* Texinfo output files no longer need .info extension
* Added `missing' support
* Cygwin32 support
* Conditionals in Makefile.am, from Ian Taylor

New in 1.0:
* Bug fixes
* distcheck target runs install and installcheck targets
* Added preliminary support for DejaGNU.

New in 0.33:
* More bug fixes
* More checking
* More libtool fixes from Gord Matzigkeit; libtool support is still
  preliminary however
* Added support for jm_MAINTAINER_MODE
* dist-zip support
* New "distcheck" target

New in 0.32:
* Many bug fixes
* mkinstalldirs and mdate-sh now appear in directory specified by
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
* Removed DIST_SUBDIRS, DIST_OTHER
* AC_ARG_PROGRAM only required when an actual program exists
* dist-hook target now run before distribution packaged up; idea from
  Dieter Baron.  Other hooks exist, too.
