'make syntax-check' complained about something that was already
fixed upstream in doc/standards.texi, so I ran 'make update', and
omitted lib/Autom4te as that still has some issues to be sorted out.

The files in lib/Autom4te/ are intentionally not synced at this
point, since this recent Automake patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2012-03/msg00111.html
was buggy regarding '-' as stdout, and also exposes some latent
bugs in autoconf where we use raw 'open' instead of XFile::open.
* build-aux/announce-gen: Resync via 'make fetch'.
* build-aux/config.sub: Likewise.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Likewise.

* build-aux/move-if-change: Likewise.
* build-aux/texinfo.tex: Likewise.
* doc/standards.texi: Likewise.

* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute .version.
(.version): New rule.
* man/Makefile.am (common_dep): Depend on .version, not
configure.ac.
(.x.1): Use package name for version string.
* GNUmakefile [!_have-Makefile]: Sync from upstream, again.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Sync from upstream.
Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
* GNUmakefile: Merge from coreutils.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Inject .tarball-version into tarball,
not .version.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use .tarball-version, not .version.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: Update from gnulib.
* GNUmakefile (dummy): Use autoreconf -i, with appropriate PATH,
so that we use just-built tools when they're available.
Suggestions from Ralf Wildenhues.
Now, each unofficial build has a version "number" like 2.61a-19-58dd,
which indicates that it is built using the 19th change set
(in _some_ repository) following the "v2.61a" tag, and that 58dd
is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
* build-aux/git-version-gen: New file.
* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Don't check NEWS here.
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
* .gitignore: Add .version here, too. Just in case.
* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/package.m4): Depend on Makefile,
not configure.ac, now that the version number changes automatically.
Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
* GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.
