* Makefile.in (clean mostlyclean): Missing right paren. Change `configure' to a mixture of custom code and autoconf stuff. autoconf can't derive all the information we need, but we'd really like to be able to take advantage of some of its tests, and its file-editing facilities. * configure.in: Renamed from configure. Quote the sections of shell script we want copied literally to the configure script. (compile): Initialize this to make the autoconf macros' code happy. Use AC_PROG_CC, AC_CONST, and AC_RETSIGTYPE instead of writing out code to do their jobs. Use autoconf to produce Makefile and src/config.h. Remove the Makefile-style comment that autoconf places at the top of src/config.h. (config_h_opts): Removed - no longer necessary. * Makefile.in (configname): Renamed to configuration. (CONFIG_CFLAGS): Renamed to DEFS. (CC, DEFS, C_SWITCH_SYSTEM, version, configuration): Adjusted to get values via autoload @cookies@. (libsrc_libs): Get this from autoconf. We used to do nothing about this. (${SUBDIR}): Pass DEFS to submakes instead of CONFIG_CFLAGS. * Makefile.in (src/paths.h, lib-src/Makefile, src/Makefile): Don't echo the move-if-change command.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.dat' is for VMS.  It is a copy of the `/etc/termcap' file
used on Unix.
