This is an unmodified version of automake-1.9.6, installed into /opt/gcc-tools/ for the use of gcc developers. Gcc requires an unpatched, pristine version of the most recent official release from the automake-1.9 series, when preparing patches for official submission. For various reasons [1] it cannot coexist with the existing automake packages in /usr.
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. The gcc-tools-automake-1.9.6-2 package was prepared on and for cygwin-1.5 using cygport-0.4.0. It differs from the simultaneously released gcc-tools-automake-1.9.6-10 for cygwin-1.7 only in the location of some documentation files.
