[1.7] Updated: automake-4-10


This package provides a wrapper system for the various automakeX.Y
packages, and plays a role similar to that of the long-standing autoconf
wrapper package.

This wrapper system is based on the bash am-wrapper developed by the
gentoo distribution, with tweaks to support cygwin's existing
alternatives framework for switching between the various installed
automakes.

The end-user experience should be transparent: invoke 'automake' and the
wrapper will select the appropriate version based on the contents of the
files in the directory where it is invoked (e.g. if Makefile.in was
created by automake-1.6 from Makefile.am, then the wrapper will "know"
to invoke automake-1.6).

This release is specific for cygwin-1.7. However, the only differences
between this package and the simultaneously-released automake-4-1 for
cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references
cygport-0.9.5 and cygwin-1.7.0-48, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is
influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.4 and 0.9.5).
