to create 'configure'; problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-09/msg00438.html>.
* autogen.sh: Exit with status 1 when failing due to missing tools,
reverting the 2012-09-10 change to this file.
* autogen/copy_autogen: Fail if one of the subsidiary actions fail.
Use 'cp -f' for the build-aux files, since the destinations are
typically read-only.
Run autogen.sh after bootstrap-clean, to avoid bzr pull issues.
* INSTALL, README: Document autogen.sh.
* Makefile.in (Makefile): Mark it as precious, since it's updated
atomically.
(MAKE_CONFIG_STATUS): New macro.
(config.status, bootstrap): Use it. This causes 'make bootstrap'
to run config.status with the --recheck option, which is more
appropriate for a bootstrap.
(bootstrap): Run autogen.sh right after cleaning. Don't worry
about failures due to missing tools.
* autogen.sh: Exit with status 101 when failing due to missing tools.
* make-dist: Distribute autogen.sh.
