Use gcc-generated dependency files if we can (GNU Make and gcc required). * Makefile.in: If AUTO_DEPEND is defined, make gcc generate dependency files in deps/. Include those files into Makefile. * config.in: Generated (AUTO_DEPEND). * configure.in: --enable-autodepend is new. Check for GNU Make and that gcc supports -MMD -MF. Define AUTO_DEPEND if we can use gcc and GNU make to generate dependencies.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
