dnl Allow maintainer rules under GNU make even in VPATH builds.  This does
dnl not work in autoconf 2.61 or earlier, but we don't want to require
dnl unreleased autoconf during bootstrap, hence the version test.
dnl TODO remove the version check once we depend on autoconf 2.62.
dnl Meanwhile, we must use a shell variable so that we bypass automake's
dnl attempts to remove the sole copy of GNUmakefile in a non-VPATH build
dnl during 'make distclean'.
dnl TODO avoid the shell variable once automake is fixed.

You are about to use an experimental version of Autoconf.  Be sure to
read the relevant mailing lists, most importantly <autoconf@gnu.org>.

Below you will find information on the status of this version of Autoconf.
