Hi, I don't know whether this is common knowledge or intended behaviour
but:
The AbiWord build system which uses 'Makefile' for a custom (non-automake)
build and 'GNUmakefile[.{in|am}]' for building with automake+autoconf
automake-1.5 is incompatible with this because it assumes (in depout.m4)
that makefiles are called 'Makefile' and not 'GNUmakefile'.
Also, it would be nice if a little message popped up, e.g.
echo Initiating dependencies in $dirpart
because AbiWord has a lot of directories and autoconf is quiet for so long
while creating dependencies that one could be forgiven for pressing ^C and
cursing the fates...
