commit e043e9e76d6953676ed870a6f47be9723363b7cb
Author: Eric Blake <address@hidden>
Date:   Tue Mar 4 09:17:48 2008 -0700

    Make GNUmakefile work with in-place builds.
    
    * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_LINKS): Use m4_PACKAGE_VERSION to work
    with older autoconf.  Use shell variable to bypass older automake
    distclean rules.
    * Makefile.am (distclean-local): Remove GNUmakefile link in VPATH
    builds, since we bypassed automake.
    * GNUmakefile: Collapse redundant lines.
    (_is-dist-target): 'distclean' is not a dist target.
    * Makefile.maint (vc-diff-check): Support out-of-tree VPATH build.
    Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
