* doc/automake.texi (limitations on file names): New section.
* lib/install-sh: Rewrite to support '*' in file names.
Also, tune so that we don't invoke so many commands in the usual case.
* tests/instspc.test: The "*" test is now fixed.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (require_variables): Mention aclocal's
search path when suggesting to add a macro in configure.ac.
People are confused when Automake suggests adding a macro (such as
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) that is already in configure.ac.
* automake.in (require_file_internal): Suggest `automake --add-missing'
for missing files that can be installed.
* tests/library3.test: Adjust.
* tests/instspc.test: Major rewrite to test for many other
problematic file names, e.g., '$', '"', '('. Automake and
Autoconf can't handle many of them, so do not report a failure
if the usual candidates show up.
* automake.in (make_paragraphs): Do not define %TOPDIR%, now that
lib/am/header-vars.am no longer uses it.
* lib/am/libtool.am (distclean-am, distclean-libtool): Define
if TOPDIR_P is true, not TOPDIR.
Suggested by Stepan Kasal.
* lib/mkinstalldirs: Fix support for directory name with spaces if
`mkdir -p' does not work.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mkinst3.test.
* tests/mkinst3.test: New file.
Report from Noah Friedman.
* lib/mdate-sh: Avoid infinite loop with GNU ls when TIME_STYLE is set.
* tests/txinfo28.test: Set TIME_STYLE.
Report from Vincent Lefevre and James Youngman.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define, _new): Remember the helper
variable created for the last conditional += on each variable, and
only append further += in the same condition to this last helper
variable, not to older helper variables. This way the order of
the items appended to the variable is preserved.
* tests/cond21.test: Adjust.
* tests/cond38.test: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond38.test.
Report from Ed Hartnett.
* automake.in (handle_footer): Do not output an unformatted
definition of SOURCES, it is already done correctly in
generate_makefile. This superfluous definition introduced long
lines in some Makefiles, hence breakages in tools with a limited
line length. Report from Mathias Froehlich.
* lib/am/texibuild.am (?GENERIC_INFO?%SOURCE_SUFFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%):
Do not backup any file if makeinfo is not installed.
* lib/missing (makeinfo): Do not touch a missing info file.

* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo30.test.
Report from Bob Proulx.

(handle_LIBOBJS_or_ALLOCA, require_libsource_with_macro): New functions.
(handle_LIBOBJS, handle_ALLOCA): Use them. Adjust location of
dependency files, possibly in a subdirectory.

* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add them.
* doc/automake.texi (Optional) <AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR>: Document.
(LIBOBJS): Document changes in behaviour of
LIBOBJS, ALLOCA, LTLIBOBJS & LTALLOCA in the presence of
subdir-objects and an invocation of AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR.
* doc/automake.texi (Uniform): Use xmldir instead of htmldir as
example, since the GCS now define htmldir.
(Auxiliary Programs): Mention config-ml.in and symlink-tree.
Give a URL for texinfo.tex.
(Public macros): Sort alphabetically, and move obsolete macros...
(Obsolete macros): ... here.
Prompted by Karl Berry.

not exist.

* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add lisp7.test.
Report from Greg Schafer.
* aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Include file names
are relative to the directory of configure.ac, not to the
directory of the file doing the include. Remove code for this
latter case.
* tests/acloca13.test: Run distcheck and make sure all macros are
actually distributed.
For PR automake/450:
* aclocal.in (write_aclocal, trace_used_macros): Do not add/remove
acinclude.m4 and configure.ac to the include map in these two
places ...
(strip_redundant_includes): ... do it here. This completes the
previous change from 2005-03-01, that did not update
write_aclocal.
* tests/acloca19.test: Augment.
Report from Peter Breitenlohner.

* doc/automake.texi (Flag Variables Ordering, User Variables):
Make clearer who the maintainer is, and that he can AC_SUBST AM_
variables in configure.ac. Suggested by Norman Gray.

Conditionals): Use `---' for em dash, and stick them to the
enclosing text.
* doc/automake.texi: Reword a few sentences to fix all underflow
and overflow warnings during `make dvi'.
(Auxiliary Programs) <configure.guess, config.sub>: Update URL.
(Public macros) <AM_WITH_DMALLOC>: Likewise.
* doc/automake.texi (Hard-Coded Install Paths): New node.
(Extending, Extending aclocal, Python): Link to it.
(Extending): Don't show how to install a file in /etc/ directly,
this is insane.
* automake.in (read_am_file): Define variable containing long
lines as VAR_PRETTY to work around tools with limited input width.
* tests/longlin2.test: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
Report from Albert Chin.
Fix for PR automake/447:

see 2004-12-17.
* lib/mdate-sh, lib/py-compile, lib/ylwrap: Exit with nonzero
status if a write failure occurs with --help or --version option,
as below.
Preliminary support for `aclocal --install'.
This still lacks #serial support.
* aclocal.in (reset_maps, install_file): New functions.
(write_aclocal): Copy files if --install.
(usage, parse_arguments): Recognize --install.
("MAIN"): Start aclocal again if some file were installed.

ACLOCAL_TESTSUITE_FLAGS, used by acloca10.test.

consistent with the terminology of the GNU coding standards.
From Paul Eggert.

linker is chosen without diagram, and update to match the code.
