 5.1 Configuration requirements
 ==============================
 
 The simplest way to meet the basic Automake requirements is to use the
 macro `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' ( Macros).  But if you prefer, you can
 do the required steps by hand: 
 
    * Define the variables `PACKAGE' and `VERSION' with `AC_SUBST'.  `PACKAGE'
      should be the name of the package as it appears when bundled for
      distribution.  For instance, Automake defines `PACKAGE' to be
      `automake'.  `VERSION' should be the version number of the release
      that is being developed.  We recommend that you make
      `configure.in' the only place in your package where the version
      number is defined; this makes releases simpler.
 
      Automake doesn't do any interpretation of `PACKAGE' or `VERSION',
      except in `Gnits' mode ( Gnits).
 
    * Use the macro `AC_ARG_PROGRAM' if a program or script is installed.
       Transforming Program Names When Installing
      (autoconf)Transforming Names.  
 
    * Use `AC_PROG_MAKE_SET' if the package is not flat.   Creating
      Output Files (autoconf)Output.  
 
    * Use `AM_SANITY_CHECK' to make sure the build environment is sane.
 
    * Call `AC_PROG_INSTALL' ( Particular Program Checks
      (autoconf)Particular Programs.).  
 
    * Use `AM_MISSING_PROG' to see whether the programs `aclocal',
      `autoconf', `automake', `autoheader', and `makeinfo' are in the
      build environment.  Here is how this is done:
           missing_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`
           AM_MISSING_PROG(ACLOCAL, aclocal, $missing_dir)
           AM_MISSING_PROG(AUTOCONF, autoconf, $missing_dir)
           AM_MISSING_PROG(AUTOMAKE, automake, $missing_dir)
           AM_MISSING_PROG(AUTOHEADER, autoheader, $missing_dir)
           AM_MISSING_PROG(MAKEINFO, makeinfo, $missing_dir)
 
    Here are the other macros which Automake requires but which are not
 run by `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE':
 
 `AC_OUTPUT'
      Automake uses this to determine which files to create (
      Creating Output Files (autoconf)Output.).  Listed files named
      `Makefile' are treated as `Makefile's.  Other listed files are
      treated differently.  Currently the only difference is that a
      `Makefile' is removed by `make distclean', while other files are
      removed by `make clean'.
