script to avoid such issues; a simple example is provided in the
"CVS and generated files" chapter of the automake manual.
+* Recursive targets:
+
+ The user can now define his own recursive targets that recurse
+ in the directories specified in $(SUBDIRS). This can be done by
+ specifying the name of such targets in invocations of the new
+ 'AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' m4 macro.
+
+ * Improvements to aclocal and related rebuilds rules:
+
+ - The Autoconf-provided macro AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR is now traced by
+ aclocal, and can be used to declare the local m4 include directory.
+ Formerly, one had to specify it with an explicit '-I' option to the
+ 'aclocal' invocation.
+
+ - The special make variable ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is deprecated; future
+ Automake versions will warn about its use, and later version will
+ remove support for it altogether.
