Revision: miles@gnu.org--gnu-2004/emacs--cvs-trunk--0--patch-396
Tweak arch tagging to make build/install-in-place less annoying
Previously, autoconf-created Makefiles and the like would contain
duplicate taglines (unfortunately, autoconf doesn't seem to have a
`strip in generated file' comment mechanism) leading to conflicts, and
installing in place would create unknown directories and copies of
source directories (leading to conflicts with the source directories).
This changeset makes all autoconf-processed files use explicit id-tags
and adds .arch-inventory entries to ignore installation directories.

The list includes each symbol's message (on the @code{error-message} property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a description of how the error can occur. Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property that is a list of symbols. Normally this list includes the error symbol itself and the symbol @code{error}. Occasionally it includes additional symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than @code{error} but broader than a single error symbol. For example, all the errors in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}. If we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error conditions, that means it has none. As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error. @xref{Errors}, for an explanation of how errors are generated and handled. @table @code @item @var{symbol} @var{string}; @var{reference}. @item error @code{"error"}@* @xref{Errors}. @item quit @code{"Quit"}@* @xref{Quitting}. @item args-out-of-range @code{"Args out of range"}@* @xref{Sequences Arrays Vectors}. @item arith-error @code{"Arithmetic error"}@* See @code{/} and @code{%} in @ref{Numbers}. @item beginning-of-buffer @code{"Beginning of buffer"}@* @xref{Motion}. @item buffer-read-only @code{"Buffer is read-only"}@* @xref{Read Only Buffers}. @item coding-system-error @code{"Invalid coding system"}@* @xref{Coding Systems}. @item cyclic-function-indirection @code{"Symbol's chain of function indirections\@* contains a loop"}@* @xref{Function Indirection}. @item cyclic-variable-indirection @code{"Symbol's chain of variable indirections contains a loop"}@* @xref{Variable Aliases}. @item end-of-buffer @code{"End of buffer"}@* @xref{Motion}. @item end-of-file @code{"End of file during parsing"}@* Note that this is not a subcategory of @code{file-error}, because it pertains to the Lisp reader, not to file I/O.@* @xref{Input Functions}. @item file-already-exists This is a subcategory of @code{file-error}.@* @xref{Writing to Files}. @item file-date-error This is a subcategory of @code{file-error}.
