* Bugs introduced by 1.12.1:
- - Automake generated Makefiles define once again the $(mkdir_p) make
- variable (simple ans an alias for $(MKDIR_P)), for better backward
- compatibility. The '@mkdir_p@' substitution is however not enabled
- by default anymore; anyone needing it should call the AM_PROG_MKDIR
- m4 macro explicitly (beware that this macro has been deprecated since
- the previous Automake release 1.12.1, and will be removed in Automake
- 1.13).
+ - Automake provides once again the '$(mkdir_p)' make variable and the
+ '@mkdir_p@' substitution (both as simple aliased for '$(MKDIR_P)'),
+ for better backward-compatibility.
