1 **Automake** is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from files
2 called `Makefile.am'. The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile
3 maintenance from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the
4 back of the Automake maintainer).
6 The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions (with
7 rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated `Makefile.in's are
8 compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
