+Autothing
+=========
+
+Autothing is a set of Makefile fragments that you can `include` in
+your GNU Makefiles to provide two core things:
+
+ 1. Make it _easy_ to write non-recursive Makefiles. (search for the
+ paper "Recursive Make Considered Harmful")
+ 2. Provide boilerplate for standard features people expect to be
+ implemented in Makefiles.
+
+Between these two, it should largely obviate GNU Automake in your
+projects.
+
+The recommended including Autothing into your project is to add the
+autothing repository as a `git` remote, and merge the `core` branch,
+and whichever `mod-*` module branches you want into your project's
+branch.
+

+
+Core (psuedo-module: at)
+------------------------
+
+As harmful as recursive make is, it's historically been difficult to
+to write non-recursive Makefiles. The goal of the core of Autothing
+is to make it easy.
+
+In each source directory, you write a `Makefile`, very similarly to if
+you were writing for plain GNU Make, with the form:
+
+ topoutdir ?= ...
+ topsrcdir ?= ...
+ include $(topsrcdir)/build-aux/Makefile.head.mk
+
+ # your makefile
+
+ include $(topsrcdir)/build-aux/Makefile.tail.mk
+
+| at.path | Use $(call at.path,FILENAME1 FILENAME2...) sanitize filenames that are not in the current Makefile's directory or its children |
+| at.nl | A newline, for convenience, since it is difficult to type a newline in GNU Make expressions |
+
+| at.dirlocal | Which variables to apply the namespacing mechanism to |
+| at.phony | Which targets to mark as .PHONY, and have automatic recursive dependencies |
+| at.subdirs | Which directories to consider as children of this one |
+| at.depdirs | Which directories are't subdirs, but may contain dependencies of targets in this directory |
+

+Module: gnustuff
+----------------
+
+This is a poorly-thought-out module implementing remaining things from

+
+This is poorly thought out and poorly tested because it's basically

+
+Developer configuration options:

+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| gnustuff.info_docs | | The list of texinfo documents in the current directory, without the `.texi` suffix. |
+| gnustuff.program_dirs | $(bindir) $(sbindir) $(libexecdir) | Directories to use $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) for inserting files into. |
+| gnustuff.data_dirs | <every variable from gnuconf ending in `dir` that isn't bindir, sbindir, or libexecdir> | Directories to use $(INSTALL_DATA) for inserting files into. |
+| gnustuff.dirs | $(gnustuff.program_dirs) $(gnustuff.data_dirs) | Directories to create |
+
+User configuration options:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|-----------+-----------------+-------------|
+| STRIP | strip | |
+| TEXI2HTML | makeinfo --html | |
+| TEXI2PDF | texi2pdf | |
+| TEXI2PS | texi2dvi --ps | |
+| MKDIR_P | mkdir -p | |
+
+It provides several `.phony` targets:
+ - install-{html,dvi,pdf,ps}
+ - install-strip
+ - {info,html,dvi,pdf,ps}
+ - TAGS
+ - check
+ - installcheck
+
+It also augments the `std` `install` rule to run $(INSTALL_INFO) as
+necessary.
+
+And several real rules:
+ - How to install files into any of the $(gnustuff.program_dirs) or
+ $(gnustuff.data_dirs).
+ - How to generate info, dvi, html, pdf, and ps files from texi files.

+Luke's AutoMake
+===============
+
+Yo, this document is incomplete. It describes the magical
+automake.{head,tail}.mk Makefiles and how to use them, kinda.
+
+I wrote a "clone" of automake. I say clone, because it works
+differently. Yeah, I need a new name for it.
+
+High-level overview
+-------------------
+
+Now, what this does for you is:
+
+It makes it _easy_ to write non-recursive Makefiles--and ones that are
+similar to plain recursive Makefiles, at that! (search for the paper
+"Recursive Make Considered Harmful") As harmful as recursive make is,
+it's historically been difficult to to write non-recursive Makefiles.
+This makes it easy.
+
+It also makes it easy to follow the GNU standards for your makefiles:
+it takes care of this entire table of .PHONY targets for you:
+
+| this | and this | are aliases for this |
+|------+------------------+--------------------------------------------------------|
+| all | build | $(outdir)/build |
+| | install | $(outdir)/install |
+| | uninstall | $(outdir)/uninstall |
+| | mostlyclean | $(outdir)/mostlyclean |
+| | clean | $(outdir)/clean |
+| | distclean | $(outdir)/distclean |
+| | maintainer-clean | $(outdir)/maintainer-clean |
+| | check | $(outdir)/check (not implemented for you) |
+| | dist | $(topoutdir)/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz (not .PHONY) |
+
+(You are still responsible for implementing the `$(outdir)/check`
+target in each of your Makefiles.)
+
+What you have to do is:
+
+In each source directory, you write a `Makefile`, very similarly to if
+you were writing for plain GNU Make, with
+
+ topoutdir ?= ...
+ topsrcdir ?= ...
+ include $(topsrcdir)/build-aux/Makefile.head.mk
+
+ # your makefile
+
+ include $(topsrcdir)/build-aux/Makefile.tail.mk
+
+And in the top-level source directory, Write your own helper makefiles
+that get included:
+ - `common.once.head.mk`: before parsing any of your Makefiles
+ - `common.each.head.mk`: before parsing each of your Makefiles
+ - `common.each.tail.mk`: after parsing each of your Makefiles
+ - `common.each.tail.mk`: after parsing all of your Makefiles
+
+The `common.*.mk` makefiles are nice for including generic pattern
+rules and variables that aren't specific to a directory.
+
+You're probably thinking that this sounds too good to be true!
+Unfortunately, there are two major deviations from writing a plain
+recursive Makefile:
+
+ 1. all targets and prerequisites (including .PHONY targets!) need to
+ be prefixed with
+ `$(srcdir)`/`$(outdir)`/`$(topsrcdir)`/`$(topoutdir)`.
+ * sub-gotcha: this means that if a pattern rule has a
+ prerequisite that may be in srcdir or outdir, then it must be
+ specified twice, once for each case.
+ 2. if a prerequisite is in a directory "owned" by another Makefile,
+ you must filter the pathname through `am_path`:
+ `$(call am_path,YOUR_PATH)`. Further, that path must NOT contain
+ a `..` segment; if you need to refer to a sibling directory, do it
+ relative to `$(topoutdir)` or `$(topsrcdir)`.
+
+Telling automake about your program
+-----------------------------------
+
+You tell automake what to do for you by setting some variables. They
+are all prefixed with `am_`; this prefix may be changed by editing the
+`_am` variable at the top of `automake.head.mk`.
+
+The exception to this is the `am_path` variable, which is a macro that
+is used to make a list of filenames relative to the appropriate
+directory, because unlike normal GNU (Auto)Make, `$(outdir)` isn't
+nescessarily equal to `.`. See above.
+
+There are several commands that generate files; simply record the list
+of files that each command generates as the following variable
+variables:
+
+| Variable | Create Command | Delete Command | Description | Relative to |
+|--------------+----------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------|
+| am_src_files | emacs | rm -rf . | Files that the developer writes | srcdir |
+| am_gen_files | ??? | make maintainer-clean | Files the developer compiles | srcdir |
+| am_cfg_files | ./configure | make distclean | Users' compile-time configuration | outdir |
+| am_out_files | make all | make mostlyclean/make clean | Files the user compiles | outdir |
+| am_sys_files | make install | make uninstall | Files the user installs | DESTDIR |
+
+In addition, there are two more variables that control not how files
+are created, but how they are deleted:
+
+| Variable | Affected command | Description | Relative to |
+|----------------+------------------+------------------------------------------------+-------------|
+| am_clean_files | make clean | A list of things to `rm` in addition to the | outdir |
+| | | files in `$(am_out_files)`. (Example: `*.o`) | |
+|----------------+------------------+------------------------------------------------+-------------|
+| am_slow_files | make mostlyclean | A list of things that (as an exception) should | outdir |
+| | | _not_ be deleted. (otherwise, `mostlyclean` | |
+| | | is the same as `clean`) | |
+
+Finally, there are two variables that express the relationships
+between directories:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
+| am_subdirs | A list of other directories (containing Makefiles) that |
+| | may be considered "children" of this |
+| | directory/Makefile; building a phony target in this |
+| | directory should also build it in the subdirectory. |
+| | They are not necesarily actually subdirectories of this |
+| | directory in the filesystem. |
+|------------+---------------------------------------------------------|
+| am_depdirs | A list of other directories (containing Makefiles) that |
+| | contain or generate files that are dependencies of |
+| | targets in this directory. They are not necesarily |
+| | actually subdirectories of this directory in the |
+| | filesystem. Except for files that are dependencies of |
+| | files in this directory, things in the dependency |
+| | directory will not be built. |
+
+Tips, notes
+-----------
+
+I like to have the first (non-comment) line in a Makefile be:
+
+ include $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))/../../config.mk
+
+(adjusting the number of `../` sequences as nescessary). Then, my
+(user-editable) `config.mk` is of the form:
+
+ ifeq ($(topsrcdir),)
+ topoutdir := $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
+ topsrcdir := $(topoutdir)
+
+ # your configuration
+
+ endif
+
+If the package has a `./configure` script, then I have it modifiy
+topsrcdir as necessary, as well as modifying whatever other parts of
+the configuration. All of the configuration lives in `config.mk`;
+`./configure` doesn't modify any `Makefile`s, it just generates
+`config.mk`, and copies (or (sym?)link?) every `$(srcdir)/Makefile` to
+`$(outdir)/Makefile`.
