Bugs fixed in 1.7.7:
* The implementation of automake's --no-force option is unreliable,
so this option is ignored in this version. A real fix will appear in
Automake 1.8. (Debian Bug #206299)
* AM_PATH_PYTHON: really check the whole list of interpreters if no
argument is given. (PR/399)
* Do not warn about leading `_' in variable names, even with -Wportability.
* Support user redefinitions of TEXINFO_TEX.
* depcomp: support AIX Compiler version 6.
* Fix missing rebuilds during `make dist' with BSD make.
(Could produce tarballs containing out-of-date files.)
* Resurrect multilib support.
* Noteworthy manual updates:
- Extending aclocal: how to write m4 macros that won't trigger warnings
with Automake 1.8.
- A Shared Library: Rewrite and split into subsections.
