If no-one objects, we can then start getting rid of some of the
convoluted Makefile hacks that exist to support non-GNU makes.

* configure.ac: Require GNU make.
(HAVE_GNU_MAKE): Remove.

* INSTALL, etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: Update for this change.

* Makefile.in: Comment.

The class of problems that this was designed to detect, namely .elc
files getting corrupted by being passed around by email via uuencode
or somesuch, has not been a relevant concern for many years.

* lib-src/test-distrib.c, lib-src/testfile: Remove.

* lib-src/Makefile.in (DONT_INSTALL): Remove test-distrib.
(test-distrib${EXEEXT}): Remove rule.

* make-dist: Do not distribute lib-src/testfile.

* admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): Remove testfile and test-distrib.

* INSTALL, etc/PROBLEMS, admin/notes/unicode:
Remove references to test-distrib and testfile.

and even http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/ recommends it over LessTif.

* src/lread.c: (dump_path): Remove.
(load-path-default): Remove `changed' argument.
Do not set dump_path permanently.  Simplify.
(init_lread): Simplify.
(syms_of_lread): Remove dump_path.

* lisp/loadup.el (load-path): Warn if site-load or site-init changes it.
No more need to reset it when bootstrapping.

* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Building Emacs):
* doc/lispref/loading.texi (Library Search): Mention that site-load,
site-init cannot change load-path.

* INSTALL: No longer mention load-path and site-init/site-load.

* etc/NEWS: Mention this.

--without-file-notification to --without-all.

Fixes: debbugs:14833

Run autogen.sh after bootstrap-clean, to avoid bzr pull issues.
* INSTALL, README: Document autogen.sh.
* Makefile.in (Makefile): Mark it as precious, since it's updated
atomically.
(MAKE_CONFIG_STATUS): New macro.
(config.status, bootstrap): Use it.  This causes 'make bootstrap'
to run config.status with the --recheck option, which is more
appropriate for a bootstrap.
(bootstrap): Run autogen.sh right after cleaning.  Don't worry
about failures due to missing tools.
* autogen.sh: Exit with status 101 when failing due to missing tools.
* make-dist: Distribute autogen.sh.

Fixes: debbugs:12376

* configure.ac (--disable-features): Rename to --without-all.
(OPTION_DEFAULT_ON): Change to use with_features.

(OPTION_DEFAULT_ON): Change to use enable_features.

This script isn't used by Emacs, and I can't imagine anyone else is
using it any more either...  From the commentary:
"This script is intended to be used to convert files with an
old-Emacs-style version history for use with VC (the Emacs 19
version-control interface), which likes to use RCS as its back end."
