+* Bugs fixed:

+  - The obsolete macros AM_CONFIG_HEADER or AM_PROG_CC_STDC work once
+    again, as they did in Automake 1.12.x (albeit printing runtime
+    warnings in the 'obsolete' category).  Removing them has turned
+    out to be a very bad idea, because it complicated distro packing
+    enormously.  Making them issue fatal warnings, as we did in
+    Automake 1.13, has turned out to be a similarly very bad idea,
+    for exactly the same reason.
