automake 1.7.2 & DJGPP: .dirstamp not a valid DOS filename

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

automake uses .dirstamp as a directory stamp. Unfortunately .dirstamp is not a
valid DOS filename. DOS filenames cannot start with a dot (a period). Below is
a ChangeLog entry and patch for using _dirstamp instead of .dirstamp.

Please CC me on any replies, because I'm not subscribed to bug-automake.

Thanks, regards,

        *  automake.in: .dirstamp is not a valid filename under DOS.
        Use _dirstamp instead.
        
        *  tests/subobj6.test: Reflect change to automake: check
        for _dirstamp, not .dirstamp.
