-AUTOCONF AND AUTOMAKE
-=====================
-
-Autoconf and automake tools help developers to avoid from "include
-header dependency hell" so they are also used by HIPL in "tools" and
-"test" directories. Standard linux kernel supports only plain old
-Makefiles, so "linux" subdirectory is not controlled with
-autoconf/automake. The "doc" directory uses plain old Makefile because
-it uses the same documentation building system as "linux".
-
-If you need to add or remove source/header files or modify build
-rules, edit "Makefile.am". If you need to modify dependencies, edit
-"configure.ac". After editing the files, run "autoreconf". Autoreconf
-may then update some files (config.h.in, config.sub, configure,
-Makefile, Makefile.in) and you need to commit them too into the CVS
-along with your new source and header files.
-
-If you need to share a file between userspace and kernelspace, place
-it in the kernelspace and modify userspace Makefile.am to create a
-link to it from userspace (CVS does not accept links). For example,
-"tools/Makefile.am" makes a local link to
-"hipl/linux/net/ipv6/builder.c" by the following rule:
-
-    builder.c:
-            $(LN_S) ../linux/net/ipv6/hip/builder.c .
-
-
 HOWTO Bazaar VCS
