+
+       * autogen.sh: require automake 1.7.  Add calls to libtoolize and
+       gtkdocize.  Clean up some of the error messages.
+
+       * configure.in: move version declaration to the top of the file
+       (before AC_INIT), using M4 macros.
+       GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP() calls no longer necessary, due to use
+       of M4 macro expansion in help messages instead.
+       Convert AC_ARG_WITH/AC_ARG_ENABLE calls to use AC_HELP_STRING to
+       format help strings.  Use quadrigraphs to get square brackets to
+       show correctly.
+       Replace gtk-doc checks with a call to GTK_DOC_CHECK() macro.
+       Use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([glibconfig.h], ...) to output
+       glibconfig.h, so that "./config.status glibconfig.h" works.
+       Add an extra AC_CONFIG_FILES call listing other files we want
+       generated by config.status protected by an "if false" block.  This
+       way automake generates the rules needed to rebuild the files for
+       us.
+       Add quotes in various places.
+
+       * docs/reference/*/Makefile.am: convert to use the common
+       gtk-doc.make file.  This localises the complexity to a single
+       makefile fragment maintained with gtk-doc itself.
+
+       * */Makefile.am: remove unneeded rules to build win32 files with
+       config.status.  Automake now does this for us.
+       Replace instances of @FOO@ with $(FOO) where appropriate -- this
+       allows automake to do a better job checking the makefile.
+       Add some files to DISTCLEANFILES where appropriate
+
+       * Makefile.am: use the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable to
+       ensure that --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure during a
+       distcheck.  Remove the custom distcheck, since the standard one
+       will now do.
+
+       * gobject/Makefile.am: switch to BUILT_SOURCES, since that now
+       works.
