debbugs, and a FAQ, for Autotools

[ Cross post; Reply-To and Mail-Followup-To set. Please followup to the automake list only, to avoid excessive spammage. Thank you. ] Hello everyone, I've been advertising debbugs before, I think we should be a good example. So, two proposals: 1) Autoconf and Libtool should also use debbug

-soname passed directly to the compiler

A package we're converting to the autotools is having an issue building a library; it seems to think gcc supports a -soname option. /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link mpicc -I/home/tfogal/sw/include -L/home/tfogal/sw/lib -o libH5Part.la -rpath /home/tfogal/dev/install-h5part/lib H5Pa
