[PATCH 1/3] Replace 'automake' with @command{automake} where appropriate


From: William Pursell
Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Replace 'automake' with @command{automake} where appropriate in automake.texi
Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:06:10 +0000
User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (Macintosh/20081105)

The bare 'automake' occurs often in automake.texi where
it should be @command{automake}.  There is some inconsistency,
however, in that often 'Automake' is used, and I am unsure
if it is appropriate to change such instances to @command{automake},
so am leaving them untouched.
