+Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant with
+the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and include
+files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU standards for
+Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl script. The input files
+are called Makefile.am. The output files are called Makefile.in; They are
+intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done
+in your configure.in. This package also includes the "aclocal"
+program. aclocal is a program to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the
+contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable
+mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
