        * aclocal.in, automake.in, configure.ac, Makefile.am,
        tests/aclocal.in, tests/automake.in, tests/defs.in:

2004-04-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/install-sh: If "mv -f" works, use it, and fall back to
        the old "test -f" + "rm -f" + "mv" method only if "mv -f" does
        not work.  This improves performance in the usual case where
        "mv -f" works.  It also lets us install the "mv" command
        without worrying about a small window where "mv" does not
        exist (this problem was reported by Raul Nunez de Arenas
        Coronado).

2004-03-26  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/java2.test: Run automake without -Wno-override.
        Report from Simon Josefsson.

2004-03-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/config.guess: New upstream version.

        Fix for PR automake/285:
        * automake.in (handle_ltlibraries): Keep track of installation
        directories for each condition, then define a $(am_TARGET_rpath)
        variable to hold the -rpath flags of Libtool libraries conditionally
        installed in different directories.
        * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm (merge): New function.
        * tests/libtool6.test: Adjust.

        lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

        * m4/depend.m4 (_AM_DEPENDENCIES): Use `touch' rather than `: >'
        to create numbered dependencies.  This fixes a portability issue
        when CONFIG_SHELL is forced to /bin/sh on Solaris 8.
        Reported by Mark Phillips.

        * automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Use Automake::Rule::define
        so that rules for the same headers are not output twice.

        * tests/cond35.test, tests/cond36.test: New files.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond35.test and cond36.test.
        Report from Roman Fietze.

        Fix for PR/413:
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Create $dc_destdir with `umask
        077 && mkdir' instead of `$(mkdir_p)'.  This prevents possible
        symlink attacks reported by Stefan Nordhausen.

2004-02-16  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Multiple Outputs): More text, based on
        comments from Eric Siegerman, Tim Van Holder, and Oren Ben-Kiki.

2004-02-15  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/mkdirp.m4: Use `mkdir -p' only with GNU mkdir, because
        Solaris 8's mkdir is not thread-safe.
        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Likewise.
        * lib/install-sh: Abort when mkdir fails to create a directory.
        Report from Nathanael Nerode.

2004-02-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.in (rel2abs): New function.
        (scan_configure_dep): Use rel2abs instead of File::Spec->rel2abs,
        the later does was introduced in Perl 5.6 so using it breaks with
        Perl 5.005.
        Report from Werner John.

2004-02-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (Future of aclocal): Make clearer that
        it's ok to install macros into /usr/share/aclocal/.

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove lisp.test.

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (transform_variable_recursively):
        Define rewritten variables in all conditions not *covered* by user
        definitions, not simply in conditions without a previous
        definition.
        * tests/cond34.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cond34.test.
        Report from Elena A. Vengerova

        * tests/lisp6.test: New file.

        * automake.in (handle_emacs_lisp): Define $(ELCFILES) as

        elc-stamp.
        * lib/am/lisp.am (.el.elc): Rewrite as ...
        ($(am__ELCFILES)): ... this, and depend on elc-stamp.

        * tests/regex.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add regex.test.

2004-01-28  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        lib/am/python.am, lib/am/scripts.am, lib/am/texinfos.am: Quote
        installation paths in install, uninstall, and installcheck rules,
        as well as in am__installdirs variables.  This is for the sake
        of paths containing spaces.

        * lib/gnupload (GPG): Use an absolute path.  Suggestion from Gary
        V. Vaughan.
        (passphrase): Unset it this variable before using it, in case it
        was exported.  Report from Scott James Remnant.

2004-01-25  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/gnupload (usage): Fix example.

        Report from Miloslav Trmac.

2004-01-22  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/lex5.test: Sleep before calling AUTOMAKE the second time,

        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Use `chmod a-w', not `chmod -w'.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
        * m4/Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/amversion.m4): Likewise.

        * lib/am/inst-vars.am: New file, define am__vpath_adj_setup,
        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.
        * lib/am/libs.am, lib/am/ltlib.am: Include inst-vars.am, and use
        $(am__strip_dir) to simplify install and uninstall rules.
        * tests/nobase.test: Augment to check installation from VPATH builds.

        * automake.in (%transformed_files): New variable.
        (initialize_per_input): Reset it.
        (make_paragraphs): Fill %transformed_files, and define %FIRST%
        each time a file is transformed for the first time.
        (handle_configure): Do not define %FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.
        (am_install_var): Do not define %FIRST%.
        * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Use %?FIRST% instead of %?FIRST_CONFIG_HIN%.

2004-01-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream version.

        * m4/mkdirp.m4: Do not use `-m 0755'.  This overrides special bits
        and break setups where 775 directories are expected.  Just obey
        umask as we did in the past.
        Report from Harlan Stenn.

2004-01-03  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (scan_texinfo_file): Do not compare $outfile to ''
        as $outfile might not be defined at all.

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Rework the way we check
        Automake variable definition.  Ensure consistent :=/+=/=
        definitions only for variables that have been and are defined by
        Automake, and make it an internal error.  Ignore Automake
        attempts to touch a user variable, even with += assignments.
        * tests/txinfo29.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo29.test.
        Reported by Bruce Korb.

2004-01-02  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

        * automake.in (handle_source_transform): Don't generate dist
        variables when no-dist is set.
        (generate_makefile): Likewise.
        * tests/nodist3.test: Ensure that DIST_SOURCES is not created,
        and that dist target does not exist.
        Reported by Tom Fitzsimmons.

2004-01-02  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/libtool5.test, tests/ltcond.test, tests/ltcond2.test,
        * tests/ltconv.test: Run automake with --add-missing, because
        the CVS version of libtoolize no longer install config.sub and
        config.guess by default.

        Fix for PR automake/319:
        * aclocal.in (scan_m4_files): Scan configure.ac.
        (trace_used_macros, write_aclocal): Remove configure.ac from the
        list of files to include.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca15.test.
        * tests/acloca15.test: New file.

        * aclocal.in (%file_includes): New variable.
        (scan_configure_dep): Compile $m4_include_rx and $ac_require_rx once.
        (scan_file): Scan for included files, and process these files
        recursively.  Fill %file_includes and %file_contents.  Return the
        list of included files, not the contents.
        (scan_m4_files): Adjust calls to scan_files.
        (strip_redundant_includes): New function.
        (trace_used_macros): Call it.
        (write_aclocal): Likewise.  Also check the mtime of included files.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acloca14.test.
        * tests/acloca14.test: New file.
        Report from Phil Edwards.

2004-01-01  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_languages): Do not define DEP_FILES.
        * m4/depout.m4 (_AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS): Extract included
        files with $(DEPDIR) in their name instead of DEP_FILES.
        * tests/depend.test, tests/depend4.test, tests/exsource.test:
        Adjust.
        Suggested by Tom Tromey.

        Do not output .lo rules for programs and static libraries objects,
        and do not output .o/.obj rules for libtool libraries.  This is
        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
        %transform argument.  Fill %lang_specific_files with list
        references instead of strings, and append %transform to each
        of these lists.
        (define_objects_from_sources, handle_source_transform):
        Take a %transform argument, and forward it to &handle_single_transform.
        (handle_languages): Adjust to the new format of
        %lang_specific_files, and honor its %transform part.
        (handle_programs, handle_libraries, handle_ltlibraries): Override
        %NONLIBTOOL% and %LIBTOOL% while calling handle_source_transform.
        (make_paragraphs): Define %NONLIBTOOL% by default.  Make sure
        %transform settings override global settings.
        * lib/am/depend2.am (%OBJ%, %OBJOBJ%): Define only if %NONLIBTOOL%.
        * tests/libtool3.test: Augment to check Makefile.ins for unneeded
        rules.
        Suggested by Thomas Fitzsimmons.

        * automake.in, aclocal.in: Bump copyright years.

2003-12-31  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (generate_makefile): Update misleading comment.

        * automake.in (handle_languages): Define %DEPBASE% conditionally
        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
        to depcomp.  Compute depbase on-the-fly in generic fastdep rules
        for subdir-objects.
        * tests/ansi9.test: Do not grep for an explicit rule that
        we no longer expect.  Really run $MAKE to make sure the chain
        of rules works.
        * tests/yacc5.test: Do not grep for an explicit rule that
        we no longer expect.  Adjust to use set -e.

2003-12-27  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (@common_files): Move configure, configure.ac, and
        configure.in ...
        (@common_sometimes): ... here so that these files do not appear
        twice in DIST_COMMON.

        * automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add $(srcdir) in front
        a required files outside the current directory or its subdirectories.
        * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Update comment.
        Report from Nicolas Joly.

2003-12-26  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi (@copying): Do not repeat the version.
        (Top): Use @insertcopying.  Add a @detailmenu, this works around
        Emacs 21's inability to lookup indices in sub-nodes (reported
        by Kevin Ryde).
        (C++ Support, Assembly Support, Fortran 77 Support, Java Support,
        Support for Other Languages, Preprocessing Fortran 77, Compiling
        Fortran 77 Files, Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++, How the Linker
        is Chosen): Add missing descriptions in menus.
        (Fortran 77 and Autoconf): Remove, this node was just saying "use
        Autoconf 2.53 or greater".

2003-12-15  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * tests/aclocal6.test: Check for autom4te.cache only if it has
        been created.
        * tests/maintclean.test: Update comment.
        Report from Bruno Haible.

        * tests/txinfo24.test, tests/txinfo25.test, tests/txinfo28.test:
        Require texi2dvi-o.

        * Makefile.am (do_subst): Fix the substitution of @configure_input@.
        (automake, aclocal): Create the output atomically and make it
        read-only, as done in the Autoconf package.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (do_subst): Fix the substitution of
        @configure_input@.

        Perl 5.6.0 will not accept a reference sub reference for the
        latter.
        * automake.in (var_SUFFIXES_trigger): Adjust registration via
        Automake::Variable::hook.
        (handle_texinfo_helper): Make sure `inner_expand => 1' appears
        on one line, so that Perl 5.6.0 does not complain about
        inner_expand being a bare identifier.

2003-12-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.in (check_acinclude, scan_file): Output `warning:' in
        front of warnings.
        Report from Pavel Roskin.

2003-12-04  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * TODO: Remove some old entries.

        * doc/automake.texi (Rebuilding): Document CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES
        and CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES.  Move this sections later
        in the manual since it's pretty advanced material.

        * automake.in ($config_header_location): Remove.  Use
        %ac_config_files_location instead.
        (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): Do not prepend $(top_builddir)/
        at the top-level.

            Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (handle_configure): Do not require link sources if
        they contain a dollar, or if they were built.  Likewise, do not
        clean link destination if they contain a dollar.
        (scan_autoconf_traces) <AC_CONFIG_LINKS>: Populate
        %ac_config_files_location with link destinations.  Do not
        store locations in @config_links, now that %ac_config_files_location

        * automake.in (handle_source_transform): If it's present, use
        libfoo_la.c instead of libfoo.c as the default source of
        libfoo.la, and issue an -Wobsolete diagnostic.  Do not be
        greedy in the suffix replacement regex.
        * doc/automake.texi (Default _SOURCES): New node.
        (Program Sources, Libtool Modules): Refer to it.

        _value_as_list_recursive_worker): Merge into ...
        (value_as_list_recursive): ... this function.  Pass options
        as a hash argument, and use the `location' option to trigger
        the behavior of loc_and_value_as_list_recursive.
        (traverse_recursively, transform_variable_recursively): Take
        options as a %options argument.
        (_do_recursive_traversal): Perform expansion of inner variables
        (as in `$(FILE).ext') on request.
        * automake.in (handle_options, check_libobjs_sources)
        (handle_source_transform, handle_LIBOBJS, handle_ltlibraries)
        (handle_ltlibraries, handle_man_pages, handle_dist)

        by comments in variables.

2003-11-27  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/automake.texi: More target vs. rule editing.  Back out some
        of the previous changes.  It's OK to talk about targets as "entry
        points", or as thing to build, but targets cannot be run: rules
        are run.

        * doc/automake.texi: s/target/rule/ where appropriate.  A target
        is the destination of a target rule, not the rule itself.
        Suggested by Bruno Haible.

        * lib/config.sub, lib/config.guess, lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream
        versions.

        * doc/automake.texi (Program variables): Mention per-target
        _CPPFLAGS in the documentation of INCLUDES.
        * automake.in (generate_makefile): Likewise in the INCLUDES diagnostic.
        Report from Bob Friesenhahn.

        * doc/automake.texi (Extending): Elaborate on overriding.
        * NEWS: Likewise.
        Suggested by Bruno Haible.

2003-11-24  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (output): Add $(am__empty) to variable
        definitions that end with a line full of @substitutions@ that
        would confuse HP-UX Make if it were blank.
        (transform_variable_recursively): Make sure not to erase empty
        variables.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add subst2.test.

        (prepend_srcdir): ... this.
        (rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies): New function, extracted from ...
        (handle_configure): ... here.  Adjust to use prepend_srcdir
        or rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies where needed.  Especially,
        using (the new) rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies to compute
        Makefile dependencies will fix PR/411.
        * lib/am/configure.am (DIST_COMMON): Remove %MAKEFILE-IN%, it's
        already distributed by rewrite_inputs_into_dependencies.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add output10.test, remove distcom.test.
        * tests/colon3.test: Use set -e.  Don't allow any AUTOMAKE
        invocation refer to zardoz.  Make sure two.in and three.in
        appear as $(srcdir)/two.in and $(srcdir)/three.in dependencies.
        * tests/distcom.test: Delete.  This is covered by tests/output9.test.

        * lib/ylwrap: Do not overwrite headers if they haven't changed.
        Fix the include guard substitution.

        Fix for PR automake/408:

        * Makefile.am: Do not rerun `make dist' after tagging, `make distcheck'
        already build the tarballs.  Commit files right before tagging.
        Check NEWS before running distcheck.

        * m4/amversion.in (AM_AUTOMAKE_VERSION): Missing cosmetic space.

        lib/texinfo.tex: New upstream versions.

        (Uniform): Do not speak of missing HTML support, this is
        confusing.
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (_silent_variable_override): Add
        AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS.

        Suggested by Mark Mitchell.

        * lib/am/depend2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.o, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.obj)
        (?GENERIC?%EXT%.lo): Do not echo compile command manually, this
        breaks `make -s'.  Instead, fold the compile command on two lines,

        Suggested by Karl Berry and William Fulton.

        * lib/am/texibuild.am (%DEST_PREFIX%%DEST_SUFFIX%): Rename as ...

        $insrc, and adjust substitutions in 'texibuild'.
        (handle_texinfo_helper): Compute a regex of all user-cleaned
        files, and use this to select whether to build .info files in `.'
        or $(srcdir).  Give an account of the $(srcdir) vs `.' debacle.
        Alway build the version.texi and stamp files in $(srcdir).  Do not
        define INFO_DEPS.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add txinfo23.test, txinfo24.test,
        and txinfo25.test.

        Revert the fix for PR automake/291:
        * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (define): Do not warn about variables
        starting with `_' which are an issue on NEWS-OS 4.2R.  According
        to Paul Eggert, NEWS-OS 4.2R is ten years old, the latest version
        was released on 1996 and is not in wide use.  On the other hand,
        variables starting with `_' are mandatory in several situations,
        so diagnosing them is more annoying than useful.

2003-05-07  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * configure.in (ACLOCAL): Do not use -I, --acdir is enough.

        local files.
        (Extending aclocal): Show how to install installable macros
        in $(datadir)/aclocal, and make it clearer that writing installable

        distributed.
        (scan_aclocal_m4): Do not bother about acinclude.m4 anymore.
        We will get this dependency when tracing m4_includes.

        * lib/am/yacc.am (?!GENERIC?%OBJ% aka .y.c): Don't redirect
        directly to $@.  Instead, redirect to $@t and rename upon success.
        Also, move the commands that update $@ so they are last.  Otherwise,
        this rule could leave the user with an up to date target (.c file)
        but with a missing or corrupted corresponding .h file.

2003-04-17  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

        Retain all variable definitions until the whole Makefile.am has
        been processed, then output all variables in one step, at the top
        of Makefile.in.  (Older revisions used to output user variables
        before generating Automake targets, and to mix Automake variables
        with Automake targets, preventing redefinitions of previously
        output variables.)

        per-condition basis.
        (append_comments): Delete.  This work is now done by macro_define.
        (read_am_file, file_contents_internal): Don't call append_comments
        nor update @var_list, adjust calls to macro_define.

        (Program and Library Variables): Adjust to show `$(ARFLAGS)'
        instead of `cru'
        * tests/ar.test: Rewrite to test for AR, ARFLAGS, and RANLIB.

        Suggested by Gwenole Beauchesne.

        For PR automake/382:
        * automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document `AM_YFLAGS = -d'.
        Explain BUILT_SOURCES is usually needed in this case.

2003-01-13  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>  (tiny change)

        * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): '=' is not valid in DOS filenames.
        Use '_build' and '_inst' instead of '=build' and '=inst'.
        * tests/man2.test: Reflect change automake: check for files in
        '_build' and '_inst' directories instead of '=build' and '=inst'.

2003-01-13  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        Use `_dirstamp' when the file-system doesn't support `.dirstamp'.
        * m4/lead-dot.m4: New file.
        * m4/Makefile.am (dist_m4data_DATA): Add lead-dot.m4
        * m4/init.m4 (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require AM_SET_LEADING_DOT.:
        * m4/depend.m4 (AM_SET_DEPDIR): Require AM_SET_LEADING_DOT. Define
        DEPDIR using am__leading_dot.
        * automake.in (require_build_directory): Define am__dirstamp, a new
        variable for the dirstamp basename, based on am__leading_dot.
        * tests/subobj6.test: Move all `test -f' into Makefiles, so we can
        use $(am__dirstamp).
        Reported by Richard Dawe.

        * tests/gnits2.test, tests/pr300-prog.test, tests/transform.test:
        Move all `test -f' into Makefiles, so we can honor $(EXEEXT) when
        testing for programs.
        Reported by Richard Dawe.

2003-01-10  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Suggest using $sleep instead of
        sleep 2.
        * tests/defs.in (sleep): New variable.
        * tests/asm.test, tests/confsub.test, tests/lisp3.test,
        tests/texinfo16.test, tests/warnopts.test, tests/yaccvpath.test:
        Use $sleep instead of sleep 2, to work around timestamp
        inconsistencies in Windows.
        Reported by Richard Dawe.

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): Do not require SHELL=/bin/sh
        after $MAKE -e.
        * tests/ansi3.test, tests/ansi5.test, tests/cond22.test,
        tests/man2.test, tests/subobj3.test, tests/suffix8.test,
        tests/suffix11.test: Do not set SHELL=/bin/sh after $MAKE -e.
        $SHELL is overridden by tests/defs, so it won't hurt even
        if $MAKE -e uses the $SHELL envvar.
        * tests/ansi.test, tests/insh2.test, tests/texinfo.test,
        tests/texinfo8.test: Use SHELL=$SHELL, not SHELL=/bin/sh.
        Reported by Richard Dawe.

        Build elisp files all at once instead of one by one.
        * automake.in (handle_emacs_lisp): Define am__ELFILES.  Add
        elc-stamp to all's dependencies.
        * lib/am/lisp.am (elc-stamp): New rule, build all *.elc files.
        (.el.elc): Rewrite to call elc-stamp if $@ doesn't exist.
        (clean-lisp): Clean elc-stamp.
        * lib/elisp-comp: Reindent.  Erase the temporatry directory
        from a trap.  Propagate Emacs's exit status.
        * tests/lisp3.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add lisp3.test.
        Reported by Ryan T. Sammartino.

2003-01-09  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * automake.texi: Prefer $(FOO) to @FOO@ in the documentation.

2003-01-08  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * m4/lispdir.m4: Register EMACS and EMACSLOADPATH as precious
        variables.  Suggested by Ryan T. Sammartino.

2003-01-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * automake.in (macro_define): Add missing `{$cond}' (typo from
        2002-09-18).
        ($gen_copyright): Append year 2003.
        (version): Increase year.

        * tests/defs.in: Substitute aclocaldir instead of running
        the installed aclocal.  Otherwise Libtool and Gettext
        tests get skipped when aclocal doesn't preexist.
        Reported by Imacat.
        * tests/listval.test, tests/suffix2.test: Remove pointless -I
        argument to aclocal.
