+# automake provides the following useful targets:
+#
+# all: build all programs and libraries using the current
+# configuration (set by configure)
+#
+# check: build and run all self-tests
+#
+# clean: remove everything except what's required to build everything
+#
+# distclean: remove everything except what goes in the distribution
+#
+# The old 'debug' target is obsolete; configure the source tree with
+# ./configure --enable-debug to enable debugging and self-tests
+#
+# The old 'release' target is obsolete; this is now the default
