    Modernize, improve and/or fix various test scripts.
    
    * tests/sanity.test: Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by
    `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
    * tests/depend2.test: Likewise.  Also, call `set -e' just after
    the inclusion of `./defs', instead that later in the script.
    * tests/canon5.test: Avoid a useless `|| Exit 1' after a call to
    $AUTOMAKE, and improve the positioning of an $ACLOCAL call.
    * tests/exeext4.test: Use $FGREP instead of grep, where possible.
    Make auxiliary rules in the generated Makefile more silent.
    These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
    * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
    * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
    rather than in the middle.
    * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
    `./defs', instead that later in the script.
    * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
    * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise.  Also, prefer `mv -f' over
    plain `mv', just to be sure.
    * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
    changes.  Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
    * tests/cond9.test: Likewise.  Also, rely on the `configure.in'
    stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
    * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
    * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
    * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
    * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
    * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise.  Also, remove definition of
    AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
    since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
    * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
    actually failed, and by	making a stricter grep on the error
    message.  Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
    * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.

  • This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
    make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
    GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and targets.
    
    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.
    
    Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
    little *.am files.
    
    To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
    files.  Read the documentation to see what to do.
    
    This package also includes the "aclocal" program.  aclocal is a
    program 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.
    
    Automake has a test suite.  Use
    
    	make check
    
    to run it.  Capture its output in case of failing tests.  For more
    information, please see the file tests/README.
    
    Automake has a page on the web.  See:
    
    	http://sources.redhat.com/automake/
    
    The mailing list automake@gnu.org is for discussion of Automake and
    its interactions with other configuration/portability tools like
    Autoconf or Libtool.  Write to automake-request@gnu.org if you want to
    join.
    
    Mail suggestions and bug reports to bug-automake@gnu.org, patches
    to automake-patches@gnu.org.
    
    New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org.  Write to
    autotools-announce-request@gnu.org if you want to receive them.
