%%name: automake

%%short-description: Generates Makefile.in files 
 
%%full-description: 'Automake' automatically generates
make files compliant with the GNU coding standards. It was inspired by
the 4.4 BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
confrom to the GNU standards for Make file variables and
targets. Automake is a Perl script. 

The input files are called Makefile.am; the output files are called
Makefile.in. They are intended for use with autoconf. Automake
requires certain things to be done in your configure.in.

This package also includes the "aclocal' program, which generates an
'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.in.' It is useful as
an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
