Probably best to go ahead with Stepan's awk change. > I'm not sure if your reply was also saying that.

I think this bit is best handled in the Automake manual, if it needs to be handled at all. (FWIW, I view Automake as "enabling you to produce a GCS-compliant package", not as "forcing you to be GCS-compliant" which maybe helps Stepan's confusion about dist-bzip2 a bit.) FWIW, I do also think the GCS are very inconsistent between `Utilities in Makefiles' and `Install Command Categories', but I'm certainly not the one posting a cleanup patch for that in the near future. Cheers, Ralf
