* INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO, admin/make-tarball.txt:
Mention ‘make check’.
* configure.ac: Update comment.
* etc/NEWS: Say that tarballs have a test directory.
* make-dist (with_tests): Default to "yes".
Add an option --no-tests to make it "no".

Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November.  Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead.  Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP.  Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.

This addresses a problem noted by RMS in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-08/msg00052.html
* autogen.sh (do_git): Set to true if this script is invoked
with no arguments and there is a .git subdirectory.

Emacs assumes GNU Make, and GNU Make has much of the functionality of
Automake built-in.  The Emacs build process uses Automake primarily
because Emacs uses some Gnulib code and Gnulib formerly required
Automake.  Now that Gnulib no longer requires Automake, Emacs can
stop using Automake and this should simplify Emacs maintenance
in the future (Bug#26100).  Although this patch may look long, most of
it is generated automatically: the changes to build-aux/config.guess,
build-aux/config.sub, build-aux/install-sh, and lib/gnulib.mk.in are
all done by admin/merge-gnulib.
* .gitignore: Remove build-aux/ar-lib, build-aux/compile,
build-aux/config.guess, build-aux/config.sub, build-aux/depcomp,
build-aux/install-sh, build-aux/missing, and lib/Makefile.in,
as they are no longer built by autogen.sh.
Add lib/gnulib.mk, as it is now built by 'configure'.
Remove nt/gnulib.mk, as it is no longer built by 'make'.
* INSTALL.REPO, README, admin/make-tarball.txt:
Remove mention of Automake.
* Makefile.in (AUTOCONF, AUTOMAKE, AUTOHEADER, ACLOCAL, lib)
(AUTOCONF_INPUTS, ACLOCAL_PATH, ACLOCAL_INPUTS)
($(srcdir)/aclocal.m4, AUTOMAKE_INPUTS)
($(srcdir)/lib/Makefile.in, $(srcdir)/nt/gnulib.mk, am--refresh):
Remove.
($(MAKEFILE_NAME)): Depend on lib/gnulib.mk.in.
($(srcdir)/configure, $(srcdir)/src/stamp-h.in)
($(srcdir)/src/config.in):
Use autogen.sh instead of doing it by hand.
* admin/merge-gnulib (AVOIDED_MODULES, avoided_flags)):
New vars, to simplify processing of avoided modules.
(GNULIB_TOOL_FLAGS): Move --avoid flags into AVOIDED_MODULES.
Add --gnu-make, and change makefile name to gnulib.mk.in.
Copy config.guess, config.sub, and install-sh too, since
Automake no longer does that for us.
* admin/notes/copyright:
* admin/update_autogen (genfiles):
Update list of files.
Remove hack for nt/gnulib.mk, a file that is no longer needed.
* autogen.sh (progs): Remove Automake.
(automake_min): Remove.
Build aclocal.m4 so that autoreconf need not use aclocal.
* build-aux/config.guess, build-aux/config.sub:
* build-aux/install-sh:
New files, copied from Gnulib.  These are now updated by
admin/merge-gnulib instead by autogen.sh.
* configure.ac (AC_PROG_MAKE_SET, ACLOCAL_PATH, AM_CONDITIONAL):
Remove.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, AM_SILENT_RULES): Remove call.
(AC_PROG_CC_C_O): Call this instead of AM_PROG_CC_C_O.
(BUILDING_FOR_WINDOWSNT, HYBRID_MALLOC_LIB): Remove; no longer needed.
(--disable-silent-rules): New option, since Automake no longer
does this for us.
(AM_V, AM_DEFAULT_V): Set unconditionally, and do not bother
with AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE.
(AC_PROG_INSTALL): Add call.
(MAKEINFO): Do not bother with the 'missing' program.
(MAKEINFO, SYSTEM_TYPE): AC_SUBST.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add Makefile, lib/gnulib.mk.
(SUBDIR_MAKEFILES): Remove duplication.
* lib/Makefile.am: Remove, replacing with:
* lib/Makefile.in: New file, with the old Makefile.am contents
and with the following changes:
(AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS, BUILT_SOURCES, CLEANFILES, EXTRA_DIST)
(MOSTLYCLEANDIRS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES, noinst_LIBRARIES, SUFFIXES)
(AM_CFLAGS, DEFAULT_INCLUDES, libegnu_a_SOURCES, libegnu_a_LIBADD)
(EXTRA_libegnu_a_SOURCES, libegnu_a_SHORTNAME, libegnu_a_CPPFLAGS):
Remove.
(VPATH, abs_top_builddir, top_builddir, top_srcdir, all, AM_V_AR)
(AM_V_CC, AM_V_GEN, AM_V_at, DEPDIR, DEPFLAGS, MKDEPDIR, SYSTEM_TYPE)
(libgnu.a, libegnu.a, ETAGS, $(ETAGS), tags, TAGS, clean)
(mostlyclean, distclean, bootstrap-clean, maintainer-clean):
New macros and rules, since Automake no longer does them.
Include ../nt/gnulib-cfg.mk if SYSTEM_TYPE is windows-nt,
instead of including ../nt/gnulib.mk if BUILDING_FOR_WINDOWS_NT.
Include dependency files if AUTO_DEPEND.
(ALL_CFLAGS, AUTOCONF_INPUTS, libgnu_a_OBJECTS, libegnu_a_OBJECTS):
New macros.
(bootstrap-clean): Depend on distclean, not maintainer-clean,
and remove gnulib.mk.
(AUTOCONF_INPUTS, $(top_srcdir)/configure, ../config.status, Makefile):
New macros and rules, copied from ../Makefile.in.
($(libegnu_a_OBJECTS), $(libgnu_a_OBJECTS)): Depend on BUILT_SOURCES.
(.c.o, e-%.o): New generic rules.
* lib/gnulib.mk: Remove.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in: New file, which is built by autogen.sh
and contains much of what used to be in lib/gnulib.mk.
* m4/gnulib-common.m4: Copy from gnulib.
* make-dist: Do not distribute build-aux/compile, build-aux/depcomp,
build-aux/missing, build-aux/ar-lib, lib/Makefile.am, nt/gnulib.mk,
nt/gnulib-modules-to-delete.cfg.  Distribute lib/Makefile.in,
lib/gnulib.mk.in, and nt/gnulib-cfg.mk instead.
* nt/Makefile.in (AM_V_GEN, am__v_GEN_, am__v_GEN_0)
(am__v_GEN_1, ${srcdir}/gnulib.mk): Remove.
* nt/gnulib-cfg.mk: New file, which supersedes ...
* nt/gnulib-modules-to-delete.cfg: ... this file, which is removed.
* src/Makefile.in (ACLOCAL_INPUTS): Remove.
(AUTOCONF_INPUTS): Merge ACLOCAL_INPUTS into it.
($(top_srcdir)/configure, ../config.status, config.in Makefile):
Defer to parent Makefile.

Run admin/update-copyright.

* autogen.sh (do_autoconf, do_git): New vars.
Support new arguments --help, all, autoconf, git.
By default, just do autoconf-related configuration, not git.
Prefer 'echo' to 'cat <<EOF ...', as this tends to avoid temp files.
If GNU cp is available, use it to backup .git/config before
changing it.  When configuring git, chatter about what is being
done, and configure git to check hashes.  Avoid some duplicate
file name specification when creating git hooks.

* GNUmakefile (ALL_IF_GIT): New macro.
(configure): Use it.
* INSTALL.REPO: Suggest './autogen.sh all'.

Run admin/update-copyright.

Mostly this just changes ` to ' in static text.  Some exceptions:
* INSTALL.REPO: Use curved quotes, as the diagnostic in question
typically does that now.
* admin/quick-install-emacs (TRY, top level):
Use straight quoting in diagnostics.
* src/README: Fix working-directory confusion.

This attempts to repair problems introduced by the bad merge
5491fd10.  The easiest way for me
to fix the badly-merged gnulib files was to run
'admin/merge-gnulib', so I did that, which also imported the
following changes:
* build-aux/update-copyright, m4/gnulib.m4:
Update from gnulib, incorporating:
2015-01-15 time: port to MinGW32 3.21
2015-01-15 update-copyright: apply to self
2015-01-11 update-copyright: recognize groff's \(co marker

Run admin/update-copyright.

Run admin/update-copyright.

You _can_ just run make after a clean checkout, thanks to the GNUmakefile.

* CONTRIBUTE: improve; add explicit web references, move some info from
  admin/notes/* here.

* INSTALL.REPO: You can't "just run make" after a clean checkout.

* admin/notes/commits: deleted; merged into ./CONTRIBUTE

* admin/notes/repo: move commit, branch info into ./CONTRIBUTE

* INSTALL.REPO: Remove reference to obsolete configure scripts
on non-Posix platforms.

Fixes: debbugs:18323

* INSTALL: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.
* INSTALL.REPO: pkg-config is no longer required to build from
the repository.
* autogen.sh: Don't check for pkg-config.
(progs): Remove pkg-config.
(pkg_config_min, AUTORECONF_ENV, env_space, ACLOCAL_PATH):
Remove.  All uses removed.
* m4/pkg.m4: New file, built by admin/merge-pkg-config.
* configure.ac: Remove unnecessary m4_pattern_forbid of ^PKG_ and
an AC_ARG_VAR of PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  pkg.m4 does that for us.
(EMACS_CHECK_MODULES): Remove workaround for old pkg-config bug,
as we use pkg.m4 from a newer pkg-config.
* admin/merge-pkg-config: New script.
* admin/notes/copyright: Update for m4/*.m4, in particular m4/pkg.m4.
* etc/NEWS: Prefer './configure FOO=BAR' to 'FOO=BAR ./configure'.
* etc/PROBLEMS (Build-time-problems): Remove pkg-config problem
that is no longer an issue.
* nt/INSTALL: Remove no-longer-needed notes about pkg-config.

* configure.ac: Use pkg-config's pkg.m4, rather than reinventing it.
Add explicit AC_SUBST's where needed.

* autogen.sh (progs): Add pkg-config.
(pkg_config_min): New variable.

* INSTALL.REPO: Mention pkg-config.

* etc/PROBLEMS: Mention a related issue that can occur with a local automake.

(ORDINARY_GOALS): New macro, which excludes 'bootstrap'.
(bootstrap, .PHONY): New rules.
* INSTALL.REPO: Document current procedure better.
Move copyright notice to just before license notice.
