+Automake is an experimental Makefile generator. It was inspired by
+the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
+conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
+
+Automake assumes the project uses autoconf. If you want automatic
+dependency tracking support, the use of GNU make is also required.
