* lib/py-compile: Add --destdir switch to py-compile that takes a
path argument that is not compiled into the file when byte compiling.
* lib/am/python.am: Use the new py-compile arguments to not include
DESTDIR in the byte compiled files.
* tests/python12.test: Test that DESTDIR won't be byte compiled into
python files.
* doc/automake.texi: Use @acindex for Autoconf macros, and @vindex
for variables (@cvindex was previously used for both). Separate
these two indices in the output. Use @code, @file, and @command
in @cindex lines wherever appropriate so they render nicely.

argument.

(scan_m4_files): ... here. Call scan_m4_files three times, for each
FT_ constant.
(scan_file): Take a file type argument to update %file_type.
(write_aclocal): Do not m4_include files that are not of type FT_USER.
* tests/dirlist.test: Make sure m4_include is not used for --acdir
files.
* m4/python.m4 (AM_PATH_PYTHON): Fix the invocation of
AC_PATH_PROGS to correctly define PYTHON as `:' when no interpreter
is found (this worked correctly only when a minimal version was
passed to AM_PATH_PYTHON). Report from Stepan Kasal.
(_AM_PYTHON_INTERPRETER_LIST): Define using m4_define_default,

* aclocal.in ($acdir): Rename as ...

(@user_includes, @automake_includes): New variables.
($default_acdir, $default_dirlist): Remove.
(parse_arguments): Populate @user_includes, @automake_includes, and
@system_includes instead of filling a unique @dirlist array.
("MAIN"): Adjust to scan m4 files in @user_includes,
@automake_includes, and @system_includes.
* aclocal.in: Use Automake::ChannelDefs, and adjust all output
to be done via `fatal', `msg', `verb', or `prog_error'.

honor -W and --warning.

unexpected newlines in the output.

* tests/defs.in (ACLOCAL): Always use -Werror, to catch Perl
warnings about uninitialized variables.
* aclocal.in (write_aclocal): Make sure $map_traced_defs{$m} exists
before using it. Suppress a warning observable in test/acloca16.test.

* lib/Automake/XFile.pm (lock): Make sure $ENV{'MAKEFLAGS'} exists

concatenation" diagnostics when flock fails.
Report from Gary V. Vaughan.
* aclocal.in: Use strict and -w. Declare local variables with `my',
and get rid of `local'.
(scan_m4_files, add_macro): Reindent these functions while we are
at it.
* lib/install-sh: Fix the dirname emulation to ignore trailing
slashes, i.e., the direname of `a/b/' is `a', not `a/b/'. This
caused `install-sh a/b/' to fail.
* tests/instsh2.test: Augment.
Report from Пухальский Юрий Андреевич.
* automake.in (get_object_extension): The extension to use is know
by the caller, and cannot be selected by looking only at the
target name. Simplify this function to simply conditionally
prepend $U to the given extension.

* tests/missing.test, tests/missing2.test: Arrange for missing

AUTOCONF. This fixes two spurious failures reported by
