Hello, i apologize that I reply to myself. I found out there is one nit:
> If you write the rule for ChangeLog to Makefile.am, then Automake > complains that the file does not exist at the time Automake is run. Actually, Automake suppresses the message if a rule named "ChangeLog" is found. But I think the right name for the target is "$(srcdir)/ChangeLog", since it is a distributed file. Does this mean this is a bug in Automake? And if yes, then current implementations cannot rely on the feature, so how can one handle generated ChangeLog with current Automake? Thanks, Stepan
