    [ng] cleanup: don't support $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES) anymore, it's obsolete
    
    The $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES) variables has been since long obsolete and
    basically unused (since at least commit ab57cf28 of 2003-04-24), so
    drop any mention of it.
    
    * automake.in (scan_aclocal_m4): Don't bother warning about usages of
    $(ACLOCAL_M4_SOURCES).  Don't append it to @ac_deps.  This makes such
    variable always empty, so there's no need to return it.  Adjust the
    signature of this function accordingly, and ...
    (handle_configure): ... update this function accordingly.

    [ng] compile: don't support $(INCLUDES) anymore
    
    The $(INCLUDES) variables has been since long supplanted and obsoleted
    by the $(AM_CPPFLAGS) variable (in documentation since the commit
    3d248ab5 of 2001-06-12, "* automake.texi (Program variables): Document
    AM_CPPFLAGS. Deprecate INCLUDES", and in code since the commit '1415d22f'
    of 2002-07-09, "* automake.in (generate_makefile): Suggest using
    AM_CPPFLAGS instead of INCLUDES".
    
    So we can drop support for $(INCLUDES).
    
    * NG-NEWS, doc/automake-ng.texi: Update.
    * automake.in: Drop usages of $(INCLUDES) from several calls to
    'register_language'.
    (generate_makefile): Don't explicitly warn about the definition of
    the $(INCLUDES) variable anymore.
    * t/pluseq5.sh: Adjusted to avoid using the INCLUDES variable.
    * t/werror2.sh: Likewise.
    * t/warnopts.sh: Likewise, and remove extra-verbose comment.

    [ng] mkinstalldirs: remove support for the script and the variable
    
    According to our documentation:
    
        mkinstalldirs used to be a wrapper around 'mkdir -p', which is not
        portable.  Now we prefer to use 'install-sh -d' when configure
        finds that 'mkdir -p' does not work, this makes one less script to
        distribute.  For backward compatibility mkinstalldirs is still used
        and distributed when automake finds it in a package.  But it is no
        longer installed automatically, and it should be safe to remove it.
    
    So we remove the 'mkinstalldirs' as well as its companion $(mkinstalldirs)
    variable from Automake-NG altogether.
    
    * NG-NEWS, doc/automake-ng.texi: Update.
    * automake.in (handle_configure): Don not require nor distribute the
    'mkinstalldirs' script anymore.  Do not define the $(mkinstalldirs)
    variable.
    (@common_files): Do not report 'mkinstalldirs' anymore.  Reformat the
    array while we are at it, to make it easier to add or remove entries
    in the future.
    * lib/mkinstalldirs: Delete this file.
    * Makefile.am (dist_script_DATA): Remove it.
    (check-coverage-run, recheck-coverage-run): Use $(MKDIR_P), not
    $(mkinstalldirs), to create the 'cover_db' directory.
    * syntax-checks.mk (sc_mkinstalldirs): Adjust to verify we have mo more
    instances of 'mkinstalldirs'.
    * contrib/multilib/config-ml.in: Remove comment referencing the
    'mkinstalldirs' script.
    * t/auxdir.sh: Adjust to use 'py-compile' rather than 'mkinstalldirs'.
    * t/auxdir6.sh: Likewise.
    * t/auxdir7.sh: Likewise.
    * t/auxdir8.sh: Likewise.
    * t/pr9.sh: Adjust comments to avoid spuriously triggering the
    'sc_mkinstalldirs' maintainer check.
    * t/mkinst3.sh: Converted to test 'install-sh -d' rather than
    'mkinstalldirs'.
    * t/subdir.sh: Adjust comments.
    * t/werror.sh: Use 'am_create_testdir=empty' rather than removing
    the install-sh, depcomp, missing and mkinstalldirs scripts by hand.
    * t/mkinstall.sh: Remove as obsolete.
    * t/instman2.sh: Likewise.

    [ng] cleanup: minor cleanups in remake-hdr.am
    
    * lib/am/remake-hdr.am: Remove an obsolete comment, and a workaround
    only needed for parallel BSD make.  Rewrite the recipe of '%CONFIG_H%'
    to be less verbose (with no semantic change intended).  Add an
    explicative comment.  Remove extra blank lines.

    [ng] config.h.{bot,top}: don't support anymore (distribution and deps)
    
    The use of those files have been obsoleted since Autoconf commit 5047ea80
    of 1994-08-09, "support alternate input file names"; yes, the "1994" in
    there is not a typo: those files were already deprecated in Autoconf 2.0.
    It's well past time to remove support for them!
    
    For more information, see chapter "Obsolete Constructs", section
    "acconfig.h" of the Autoconf manual.  See also the discussion on automake
    bug#7919, in particular the message <http://debbugs.gnu.org/7819#20>.
    
    * NG-NEWS: Update.
    * automake.in (handle_configure): Don't automatically distribute the
    'config.h.top' and 'config.h.bot' files if they exist, and don't add
    them to the '%FILES%' transform when processing the 'remake-hdr.am'
    Makefile fragment.  In fact, drop the '%FILES%' transform altogether,
    since now it would always expand to empty.
    (@common_sometimes): Don't list 'config.h.top' and 'config.h.bot'
    anymore.
    * lib/am/remake-hdr.am (%CONFIG_HIN%): Don't depend on '%FILES%'
    anymore.  That transform has been removed now (and wouldn't be needed
    anyway).
    * t/autodist-config-headers.sh: Remove as obsolete.

    [ng] acconfig.h: don't support anymore (distribution and dependencies)
    
    Support for acconfig.h is still present in Autoconf (version 2.69 at the
    time of writing), but deprecated by a long time in favour of AH_VERBATIM
    and AH_TEMPLATE.  The deprecation started at least in September 1999 (see
    Changelog entry "Start to get rid of acconfig.h.  It is an anachronism",
    dated 1999-09-28), and was basically completed by October 1999 (see the
    ChangeLog entry "Moving most of the task of creating config.h.in from sh
    to m4", dated 1999-10-01), i.e., before the Autoconf 2.50 release (dated
    2001-05-21).
    
    For more information, see chapter "Obsolete Constructs", section
    "acconfig.h" of the Autoconf manual.  See also the discussion on automake
    bug#7919, in particular the message <http://debbugs.gnu.org/7819#20>.
    
    * automake.in (handle_configure): Don't automatically distribute the
    'acconfig.h' file if it exists, and don't add it to the transform
    '%FILES%' when processing the 'remake-hdr.am' Makefile fragment.
    (@common_sometimes): Don't list 'acconfig.h' anymore.  Reformat it
    while we are at it, to make it easier to add or remove entries in

    of 'acconfig.h'.

    [ng] cleanup: remove obsolete special-handling of default source for libs
    
    Since we are already breaking backward-compatibility in small ways in
    Automake-NG, we can snatch the occasion to do some cleanup of obsolescent
    behaviours and backward-compatibility hacks.  This is the first of such
    cleanups.
    
    * automake.in (handle_source_transform): The default source for libfoo.la
    is libfoo.c, but for backward compatibility we used look for libfoo_la.c
    first.  Don't do that anymore now.
    * t/ltlibsrc.sh: Remove as obsolete.
    * NG-NEWS: Update.

    [ng] cleanup: remove a workaround for BSD make (default sources and VPATH)
    
    * automake.in (handle_source_transform): If a rule existed to build a
    source file with a $(srcdir) prefix, we used that prefix in our variables
    too, for the sake of BSD Make.  This is not necessary with GNU make, so
    drop it.
    * t/vpath-built-sources.sh: New test.

    [ng] cleanup: remove obsolescent comments about subdir-objects and deptrack
    
    * automake.in (handle_single_transform): Remove the lengthy historical note
    about how, when and why automake started to assume that we can safely emit
    an inference rule if both source and object files are in a subdirectory; we
    now only care that that is OK with GNU make (which it is).

    [ng] cleanup: remove a workaround only needed by Solaris make
    
    The workaround was introduced in commit 'v1.11-257-g20fb9ce' of
    2010-05-14, "Work around a bug in file-inclusion mechanism of
    Solaris make".
    
    * automake.in (handle_single_transform): When calculating the name
    of the dependency file, don't bother collapsing multiple slash
    characters into a single one.
    * t/subobj11a.sh: Adjust comments.  Prefer calling "fatal_ MSG" over
    "echo MSG >&2; Exit 1" for hard errors.

    [ng] push_dist_common: don't directly append to an Automake::Variable
    
    This change should cause no semantic changes; it just makes few lines of
    code a little cleaner and clearer.
    
    * automake.in ($configure_dist_common): Turn this global scalar into ...
    (@configure_dist_common): ... a global array.
    (@dist_common): New global, holding the list of the "auto-discovered"
    distributed files.
    (initialize_per_input): Clear it.
    (scan_autoconf_files): Use it, instead of the value of the make variable
    'am__dist_common', to initialize '@configure_dist_common'.
    (handle_dist): New %transform 'DIST-COMMON => "@dist_common"' for the
    'distdir.am' file.
    (push_dist_common): Do not call 'Automake::Variable::define' (with "+"
    type) on 'am__dist_common' anymore; just append to @dist_common instead.
    Adjust few comments throughout the file.
    * lib/am/distdir.am: Now that automake.in doesn't define 'am__dist_common'
    anymore, initialize it with the contents of the '%DIST-COMMON%' transform.
