+This is AutoMake, an experimental Makefile generator.  It was inspired
+by the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
+conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
+
+It's a preprocessor shell script.  The input files are called
+Makefile.am and the output files are called Makefile.in, which are
+suitable for use with Autoconf.
+
+Variable assignment lines in the input Makefile.am pull in defaults
+from various little *.am files.
