 Wed Apr  2 00:03:50 1997  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
 
+	* automake.in (handle_tags): Use single, not double, quotes when
+	setting list variable.
+	* data.am, header.am, libs.am, lisp.am, ltlib.am, progs-clean.am,
+	progs.am, scripts.am, tags.am: Use single quotes to fill list
+	variable; otherwise `$' in filename will not work.  From Per
+	Bothner.
+
 	* mdate-sh: Use "ls -d" so mdate-sh can be run on a directory.
 	From Bruno Haible.
