The change will cause make dist to have INSTALL file from
automake release, which hopefully is more up to date than
manually maintained version.
The gnu option will also require ChangeLog to be present, and
without doubts no-one wants to maintain that manually. I added
file to reference link to internet git repository view.
At the time of make dist current tag is added to the ChangeLog
reference which will make release to point exactly to the point
where changes ended. Minor drawback is that untagged make dist
releases will contain a broken link in ChangeLog.

The script is copied as is from gnulib.
[kzak@redhat.com: - generate .tarball-version and .version files in
top level Makefile.am
- delete autom4te.cache in autogen.sh]

The commit 60a4edd662 temporary disabled
libtool-2 in autogen.sh. It seems that libtool-2 in available in
many distributions now, so we don't have to manage the generated .m4
libtool files in git anymore.

Currently gtk-doc is optional. Unfortunately, the ./configure script
still depends on GTK_DOC_CHECK macro and shlibs/blkid/docs/Makefile.am
depends on gtk-doc.make.
It seems that the best solution is to add gtk-doc.[make,m4] files to
the repository.

We require libtool-2 (because old 1.5.x is crap). Unfortunately,
libtool-2 is still not available in many Linux distributions -- now I
see it in unstable distributions only. The painless way how to resolve
this problem is to __temporary__ commit generated libtool-2 stuff to
our repository.

We need an infrastructure for stared libraries. The latest libtool-2
seems useful and it's definitely better than the old 1.5 crap.
You need to install libtool-2 when you want to run ./autogen.sh script
after checkout from git repository.

The cal command generates output that depends on time(). For reliable
regression tests we need to use still same time. It seems that LD_PRELOAD is
pretty simple way.

The generated autotools stuff shouldn't be maintained by SCM. After check out
from git use ./autogen.sh. For more details see README.devel.
