Well, I thought I was clipping right along with converting the GNATS
build process to automake, but realize that there is a lot of cleanup
to do.  The target version of the tools I'll be using is automake (and
aclocal) 1.8, and autoconf 2.59.  My biggest hangup right now is
trying to get AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to actually set ac_aux_dir in the
generated configure file.  It's not happening, and running autoupdate
to update the configure.ac file isn't running all the way through.
There's more manual cleanup for me to do.

I'll keep you posted.

For what it is worth, the cvshome.org project has moved to automake
1.9.5 which fixes a fair number of problems. The only one remaining is
some problems with bison dependencies even when folks do not use
- --enable-maintainer-mode (btw: The CVSHOME are eagerly awaiting automake
1.10 which will have a fix for this problem). The CVS project is also
using autoconf 2.59.

Is there a good reason not to just use the

AC_INIT([GNATS],[version],[bug-gnats@gnu.org],[gnats])
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(build-aux)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnu 1.8 dist-bzip2 no-define])
AC_PREREQ(2.59)

to set the ac_aux_dir ? You may also want to move to 1.9.5 as I believe
it has a number of nits fixed.

That helped debug the problem a bit.  Looks like the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR
macro needs to be set before calling the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro, but
AFTER the AC_INIT macro.  If I place it before both, it just bombs
out.

OK.  So, we're moving right along.  Automake 1.9.5 and Autoconf 2.59a.
