+Top priorities:
+* Handle version.texi automatically
+* Fix up 'clean' rules
+* Make sure auto-deANSIfication works
+
+Rename --included-deps to --insert-deps?

Fix up how 'clean' targets are handled (they should be handled like
install, etc)
existence. [ This is nixed for now because of the auto-dependency
tracking stuff ]
-separate install-data and install-exec. "install" doesn't need to be
-"::" rule any more
-
should have "all:: info" in texinfos.am?
automake.in: should ".cc" really -> ".${kr}o"? This doesn't really
automake.in should disallow setting of LC_ALL and LANG variables by
Makefile.am.
-must write rules to handle data files. They should be installed in
-$(datadir)/$(PACKAGE). What to do if file in list is actually a
-directory?
-
consider auto-including any file that matches "*.in".
must look at mkid to see how it works (for subdir usage)
rm -rf
which should be fixed
-Consider automating stamp-vti stuff. What does GNITS say about this?
-What about this case: multiple .texi files (and thus multiple
-version.texi's), and a filesystem with short names? What to do?
-
-Consider rewriting recursive rules to use static value of SUBDIRS:
- SUBDIRS = x y z
- all:: all-x all-y all-z
- all-x: deps
- (cd x; $(MAKE) all)
-Not sure if this is a win or not. But it allows "make -k" to work
-without hackery.
-
-Internationalize.
+Internationalize. [ gettext doesn't have the necessary machinery yet ]
================================================================
These variables are used when making the distribution. The
distribution file will be a gzip'd tar file named
PACKAGE-VERSION.tar.gz.

-Automatic dependency generation:
-
-* If a special flag is given to automake, and SOURCES exists, include
- some auto-dep generating code. This code can depend on gcc and GNU
- make. (Use gcc's -MMD or -MM option). (--use-deps)
-
-* When making distribution, first ensure all dependency files are up
- to date. Then re-run automake, with flag to include deps in
- generated Makefile.in (--include-deps)
-
-Maybe it would be nice to support dependency computation with tools
-other than gcc.
-
-Maybe make --use-deps the default, and have --included-deps suppress
-it?
-
-Rename --included-deps to --insert-deps?
