[pacman-dev] [PATCH 0/5] Use more auto in autotools

[Allan McRae]

The use of autotools in pacman is interesting...  We commit most autotools
generated files, but not configure or Makefile.  One reason for this is that
we needed to patch ltmain.sh to properly handle -Wl,-as-needed, because
the Arch package maintainer refused to do so unless upstream accepts!
Libtool upstream have known about the bug since at least 2006, so that does
not look hopeful.

The new approach is to have autogen.sh call autoreconf and then have it
patch the ltmain.sh file.  This removes a lot of crap that should be
autogenerated from our git repo:
