  Reordered tmpdir creation to avoid orphan dirs on --help
  and --version.  (Corinna Vinschen)

  WANT_AUTOMAKE_VER variable support added; now you can
  override the auto-detection logic by setting this environment
  variable.

  automake:
    remove explicit -Werror and -Wno-error support; replace with

    add support for --generate-deps
    add support for --srcdir-name
  aclocal:
    no changes

  massive reorg to prevent duplication of code
  use mkscript.sh to build each script
  fragments/ directory contains the core fragments of each
    script.
  options/ directory contains snippets that help process
    each argument.  opt_foo.var establishes the tracking
    variable, opt_foo.option contains the case) statement
    for detecting and processing the option, and opt_foo.finish
    helps coalesce the variable setting (if necessary).
  As it happens, the ONLY purpose of running configure is now
    to create top.frag from top.frag.in, and to create the
    Makefile.

  Don't obliterate M4PATH; merely prepend the appropriate
  directory to the existing path.

  Add special handling for calling the scripts with the 
  '--version' option, from within directories that do not 
  have configure.ac/.in

  REmoved all of the cygwin-specific files and notes.  Hopefully,
  automake-scripts can be used on other platforms now without
  problems.  The cygwin-specific (packaging-related) files and
  build scripts have been placed in an external patch, per the 
  cygwin packaging scheme.
