Description Bruce M Simpson 2002-08-23 16:10:02 UTC 
	Some ports require the relevant ACLOCAL script to be run in order
	to pick up all included automake definitions. The ports affected
	are mainly those using a later version of GNU automake than 1.4.

Fix: A patch is enclosed which will allow port maintainers to use a
	new Makefile macro, USE_ACLOCAL, to specify that ACLOCAL must be
	run as part of the do-configure target.

	Not running ACLOCAL causes some ports to fail during do-configure
	target, or for repetitive and ugly kludges to be used in their
	Makefiles.  The patch is offered in the spirit of 'prevention
	better than cure'.

Since ade is no longer looking at this, it should probably belong to 
portmgr.
