init.m4: add probe to check "rm -f" without args work See automake bug#10828. POSIX will say in a future version that running "rm -f" with no argument is OK: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>). We want to be able to make that assumption in our Makefile recipes. So we introduce an aggressive probe to check that the usage we want is actually supported "in the wild" to an acceptable degree. * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Implement the probe. To make any issue more visible, cause the running configure to be aborted by default if the 'rm' program in use doesn't match our expectations; the user can still override this though, by setting the ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM environment variable to "yes". * t/spy-rm.tap: Update heading comments. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Adjust.

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>.
