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.

Report from Greg Schafer.
* aclocal.in (scan_configure_dep, scan_file): Include file names

case-preserving file systems.

Don't use "set - x"; plain "set x" is enough, and simplifies debugging.
