To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
files. Read the documentation to see what to do.
+This package also includes the "aclocal" program. aclocal is a
+program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
+`configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
+for augmenting autoconf. It is intended that other package authors
+will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.
