Updated for cygwin-1.7: automake1.8-1.8.5-10


Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files
compliant with the GNU Coding Standards.  This package contains the
latest version of the automake system in the automake-1.8.x series,
automake-1.8.5.

This cygwin package, automake1.8, can be installed without conflict
alongside the existing automake1.10, automake1.9, automake1.7,
automake1.6, automake1.5, and automake1.4 cygwin packages.

This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7; the only differences
between this package and the simultaneously-released automake1.8-1.8.5-4
for cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references
cygport-0.9.2 and cygwin-1.7.0-30, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is
influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.0 and 0.9.2).


Changes (automake1.8-1.8.5-3 ---> automake1.8-1.8.5-10)

* This version marks the beginning of cygwin-1.7 specific
  ports. Releases 1.8.5-4 thru 1.8.5-9 are reserved for
  cygwin-1.5.
* Update packaging to use stock cygport-0.9.2
* Fix setup.hint
* Import fixes from gentoo so that tests pass, when
  this version of automake is used with autoconf-2.6x
  or with newer versions of gettext.
* Ensure distcheck passes when using libtool-2.2 and
  the LT_OUTPUT macro appears in configure.ac.
* Ensure /usr/share/aclocal directory is preserved
* Also added info file to alternatives set (as is done in
  automake1.9 and automake1.10 already)


Testsuite results:
=======================================================
All 510 tests behaved as expected (3 expected failures)
(20 tests were not run)
=======================================================
(results differ from those reported for cygwin-1.5 because this was run
as Administrator)
