[Automake-NG] [PATCH 00/12] Several cleanups (with small backward incompatibilities)

[Stefano Lattarini]

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 series offers several
such cleanups (some of which cause no semantic changes, and some of which
breaks backward-incompatibility for some obsolescent and corner cases).

I intend to push this by tomorrow.

Regards,
  Stefano

Stefano Lattarini (12):
  [01] push_dist_common: don't directly append to an Automake::Variable
  [02] cleanup: remove a workaround only needed by Solaris make
  [03] cleanup: remove obsolescent comments about subdir-objects and deptrack
  [04] cleanup: remove a workaround for BSD make (comments continaution)
  [05] cleanup: remove a workaround for BSD make (default sources and VPATH)
  [06] cleanup: remove obsolete special-handling of default source for libs
  [07] acconfig.h: don't support anymore (distribution and dependencies)
  [08] config.h.{bot,top}: don't support anymore (distribution and deps)
  [09] cleanup: minor cleanups in remake-hdr.am
  [10] mkinstalldirs: remove support for the script and the variable
  [11] compile: don't support $(INCLUDES) anymore
