-# git.mk, a small Makefile to autogenerate .gitignore files
-# for autotools-based projects.
-#
-# Copyright 2009, Red Hat, Inc.
-# Copyright 2010,2011,2012,2013 Behdad Esfahbod
-# Written by Behdad Esfahbod
-#
-# Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
-# is permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
-# notice and this notice are preserved.
-#
-# The latest version of this file can be downloaded from:
-GIT_MK_URL = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/behdad/git.mk/master/git.mk
-#
-# Bugs, etc, should be reported upstream at:
-#   https://github.com/behdad/git.mk
-#
-# To use in your project, import this file in your git repo's toplevel,
-# then do "make -f git.mk".  This modifies all Makefile.am files in
-# your project to -include git.mk.  Remember to add that line to new
-# Makefile.am files you create in your project, or just rerun the
-# "make -f git.mk".
-#
-# This enables automatic .gitignore generation.  If you need to ignore
-# more files, add them to the GITIGNOREFILES variable in your Makefile.am.
-# But think twice before doing that.  If a file has to be in .gitignore,
-# chances are very high that it's a generated file and should be in one
-# of MOSTLYCLEANFILES, CLEANFILES, DISTCLEANFILES, or MAINTAINERCLEANFILES.
-#
-# The only case that you need to manually add a file to GITIGNOREFILES is
-# when remove files in one of mostlyclean-local, clean-local, distclean-local,
-# or maintainer-clean-local make targets.
-#
-# Note that for files like editor backup, etc, there are better places to
-# ignore them.  See "man gitignore".
-#
-# If "make maintainer-clean" removes the files but they are not recognized
-# by this script (that is, if "git status" shows untracked files still), send
-# me the output of "git status" as well as your Makefile.am and Makefile for
-# the directories involved and I'll diagnose.
-#
-# For a list of toplevel files that should be in MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, see
-# Makefile.am.sample in the git.mk git repo.
-#
-# Don't EXTRA_DIST this file.  It is supposed to only live in git clones,
-# not tarballs.  It serves no useful purpose in tarballs and clutters the
-# build dir.
-#
-# This file knows how to handle autoconf, automake, libtool, gtk-doc,
-# gnome-doc-utils, yelp.m4, mallard, intltool, gsettings, dejagnu, appdata,
-# appstream.
-#
-# This makefile provides the following targets:
-#
-# - all: "make all" will build all gitignore files.
-# - gitignore: makes all gitignore files in the current dir and subdirs.
-# - .gitignore: make gitignore file for the current dir.
-# - gitignore-recurse: makes all gitignore files in the subdirs.
-#
-# KNOWN ISSUES:
-#
-# - Recursive configure doesn't work as $(top_srcdir)/git.mk inside the
-#   submodule doesn't find us.  If you have configure.{in,ac} files in
-#   subdirs, add a proxy git.mk file in those dirs that simply does:
-#   "include $(top_srcdir)/../git.mk".  Add more ..'s to your taste.
-#   And add those files to git.  See vte/gnome-pty-helper/git.mk for
-#   example.

-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS])
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
-#   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
-#
-#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
-#   success/failure.
-#
-#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
-#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
-#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
-#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
-#
-#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
-#   macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,LINK}_FLAG.
