This greatly shortens the 'make' output, making it more readable
and useful. For example, on my platform it shortens a
4125-character line "gcc -std=gnu99 -c -Demacs -I. -I. -I../lib
... emacs.c" -- a line so long that it's hard to see what's going
on or where the diagnostics are -- to just "CC emacs.o".
* INSTALL: Document this.
* configure.ac: Add AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]).
(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY): Remove now-unnecessary initialization.
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
Fixes: bug#19501
* INSTALL: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.
* INSTALL.REPO: pkg-config is no longer required to build from
the repository.
* autogen.sh: Don't check for pkg-config.
(progs): Remove pkg-config.
(pkg_config_min, AUTORECONF_ENV, env_space, ACLOCAL_PATH):
Remove. All uses removed.
* m4/pkg.m4: New file, built by admin/merge-pkg-config.
* configure.ac: Remove unnecessary m4_pattern_forbid of ^PKG_ and
an AC_ARG_VAR of PKG_CONFIG_PATH. pkg.m4 does that for us.
(EMACS_CHECK_MODULES): Remove workaround for old pkg-config bug,
as we use pkg.m4 from a newer pkg-config.
* admin/merge-pkg-config: New script.
* admin/notes/copyright: Update for m4/*.m4, in particular m4/pkg.m4.
* etc/NEWS: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.

If no-one objects, we can then start getting rid of some of the
convoluted Makefile hacks that exist to support non-GNU makes.
* configure.ac: Require GNU make.
(HAVE_GNU_MAKE): Remove.
* INSTALL, etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: Update for this change.
* Makefile.in: Comment.
The class of problems that this was designed to detect, namely .elc
files getting corrupted by being passed around by email via uuencode
or somesuch, has not been a relevant concern for many years.
* lib-src/test-distrib.c, lib-src/testfile: Remove.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (DONT_INSTALL): Remove test-distrib.
(test-distrib${EXEEXT}): Remove rule.
* make-dist: Do not distribute lib-src/testfile.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): Remove testfile and test-distrib.
* INSTALL, etc/PROBLEMS, admin/notes/unicode:
Remove references to test-distrib and testfile.
* src/lread.c: (dump_path): Remove.
(load-path-default): Remove `changed' argument.
Do not set dump_path permanently. Simplify.
(init_lread): Simplify.
(syms_of_lread): Remove dump_path.
* lisp/loadup.el (load-path): Warn if site-load or site-init changes it.
No more need to reset it when bootstrapping.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Building Emacs):
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Library Search): Mention that site-load,
site-init cannot change load-path.
* INSTALL: No longer mention load-path and site-init/site-load.
* etc/NEWS: Mention this.
Fixes: debbugs:16107
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.
Fixes: debbugs:12376
This script isn't used by Emacs, and I can't imagine anyone else is
using it any more either... From the commentary:
"This script is intended to be used to convert files with an
old-Emacs-style version history for use with VC (the Emacs 19
version-control interface), which likes to use RCS as its back end."
* lib-src/rcs-checkin: Remove file.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (INSTALLABLE_SCRIPTS, STAMP_INST_SCRIPTS):
Remove rcs-checkin.
(stamp-rcs-checkin): Remove.
* INSTALL, make-dist: Remove rcs-checkin.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (PUBLIC_LIBSRC_SCRIPTS): Remove rcs-checkin.
* doc/man/rcs-checkin.1: Remove.
