+
+       Work toward modernizing the build system by updating our Automake
+       and Autoconf dependencies and requiring libintl to be available
+       externally (if desired) instead of including a copy in the
+       distribution.
+
+       * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require Automake 1.10 (or
+       later), which works better with systems that have a non-empty
+       $(EXEEXT).
+       (SUBDIRS): Drop intl.
+       (DISTCLEANFILES): Drop intl/plural.c.
+
+       * Throughout Makefile.am and the automake.mk files: Change
+       mkinstalldirs to $(MKDIR_P), to support the corresponding Automake
+       change.
+
+       * Smake (GNULIB_MODULES): Use gettext-h instead of gettext module.
+       (all): Don't create intl directory.
+       (gettextize): Don't use --intl flag.
+
+       * configure.ac: Require Autoconf 2.60 or later.  Use external
+       gettext.  Drop intl/Makefile from config files.

+
+       Thanks to Jason Stover for verifying that this patch helps under
+       NetBSD.
+
+       * acinclude.m4: Rename PSPP_ENABLE_WARNING to PSPP_ENABLE_OPTION,
+       because it's useful for more than warnings.
+
+       * configure.ac: Add PSPP_ENABLE_OPTION(-mieee) to improve IEEE
+       floating-point conformance on Alpha and SH architectures.  Also,
+       check for fpsetmask function (available on BSDs).
+
+Mon Feb 19 10:52:21 2007  Ben Pfaff  <blp@gnu.org>
+
+       * Smake (GNULIB_MODULES): Add dirname module, remove canonicalize
+       module.  Corresponds to changes in src/data/file-name.c.
+
+Sat Feb 17 09:22:32 2007  Ben Pfaff  <blp@gnu.org>
+
+       * Smake (GNULIB_MODULES): Add tmpfile module, which fixes the use
+       of the tmpfile function under Windows.
+
+Fri Feb 16 10:50:38 2007  Ben Pfaff  <blp@gnu.org>
+
+       Better support cross-compiling by using CC_FOR_BUILD and
+       EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD for q2c.
+       
+       * Makefile.am: Add CC_FOR_BUILD, EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD variables.  Use
+       in .q.c rule.
+
+       * acinclude.m4: Add PSPP_CC_FOR_BUILD macro.
+
+       * configure.ac: Call PSPP_CC_FOR_BUILD.
+
+Mon Feb 12 16:39:18 2007  Ben Pfaff  <blp@gnu.org>
+
+       * README: Note that iconv is required.
+
+       * configure.ac: Enforce iconv requirement.
+
+Thu Feb  8 14:56:18 2007  Ben Pfaff  <blp@gnu.org>
+
+       Reduce platform dependence.
+
+       * Makefile.am: Don't add -Dunix or -D__MSDOS__ to compiler command
+       line.  Add $(top_builddir)/intl to include path to fix building
+       with the included libintl.
+
+       * Smake (GNULIB_MODULES): Add `canonicalize', `sys_stat',
+       `mkstemp' modules.  Remove `stat-macros' module, which is no
+       longer what we want, because what we want is provided by sys_stat
+       now, and remove its inclusions.  Remove `strstr' module, which is
+       no longer in gnulib.  Remove `readlink', `xreadlink', because we
+       no longer use either function.
+
+       * configure.ac: Move gl_EARLY before AC_PROG_CC, where the gnulib
+       manual says it should be.  Check for presence of execl, fork,
+       and popen.  Drop check for unix versus msdos as host OS.

        * configure.ac: Check for the "round" function added in C99.
