I have two questions about them now: 1) In configure.ac, I found a "AC_CONFIG_HEADER(src/config.h:src/config.in)". I can only find the macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' in the Autoconf (2.69) manual. Why? What's the differences of the two macros? 2) I only found a Makefile.am in the lib/ directory. Does Emacs use Automake? If so, how? BTW the macro AC_INIT accepts five arguments (PACKAGE, VERSION, [BUG-REPORT], [TARNAME], [URL]), but only the two required arguments are specified in confugure.ac. Does it make sense to add the rest arguments? TIA
