Mimic Paul Eggert's changes to Autoconf.
* Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Use `chmod a-w', not `chmod -w'.

am__vpath_adj, and am__strip_dir.
* lib/am/Makefile.am (dist_am_DATA): Add inst-vars.am.
* lib/am/data.am, lib/am/lisp.am, lib/am/python.am,
lib/am/scripts.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use $(am__vpath_adj),
$(am__vpath_adj_setup), and $(am__strip_dir) in install and
uninstall rules.  This fixes installation of nobase_ files in
VPATH setups with Sun and OSF1/Tru64 Make.

umask as we did in the past.
Report from Harlan Stenn.

* automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''

Adjust.
Suggested by Tom Tromey.

Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,

about explicit rules only, not inference rules.
* automake.in (handle_single_transform_list): Rename as ...
(handle_single_transform): ... this.  Take a single file
to transform (it was only called this way) and accept a new

references instead of strings, and append %transform to each

on subdir-objects.  Define SUBDIROBJ.  Do not clean *_.c files
here ...
(lang_c_finish): ... do it here.
(handle_single_transform_list): Do not output specific rules for
subdir-objects files which are not renamed.  This should reduce
the size of Makefiles with lots of subdirectory sources.
* lib/depcomp: Simplify computation of dependency output, and use
DEPDIR.
* lib/am/depend2.am (%EXT%.o, %EXT%.obj, %EXT%.lo): Adjust call

Report from Nicolas Joly.

* doc/automake.texi (@copying): Do not repeat the version.

running AC_CHECK_PROGS(EMACS).

Report from Jens Petersen.
