On configure-enabled systems, configure will detect Guile installed
(using pkg-config, which is how GNU Guile is distributed) and enable
it if so.
On all non-configure-enabled systems, currently, the default is for
Guile support to be disabled.
comparison functions to always use POSIX strcasecmp(). For non-POSIX
systems that use other functions (strcmpi or stricmp) use a macro to alias
strcasecmp to those. If we can't find any of them (VMS, plus whatever
UNIX doesn't have them) then define our own version in misc.c.

Plus some from the mailing list.
Imported a patch from Eli to allow Cygwin builds to support DOS-style
pathnames.
Update NEWS docs.
Enhance the manual to use automake version.texi, and use the canonical
FSF copyright features and statement.
Some $(realpath ...) tests won't work on Windows; leave them out
The jobserver filedescriptor test might fail if some FDs are reserved,
so for now comment out that check.
Invent a new macro HAVE_DOS_PATHS and change various instances of:
#if defined(WINDOWS) || defined(__MSDOS__)
to use the new macro instead. This should help make the OS/2 port
cleaner, as well.
Invent a cvs-clean maintainer target that tries to get the workspace
back to the state it was in after a CVS checkout.
New language.
Incorporate "order-only" prerequisites patch. Wrote a test for it.
The test shows what might be a bug in the code; I need to look at it
more closely (anyway it doesn't behave as I expected). Also I haven't
done the docs yet.
* dir.c: WIN32 does not support inode. For now, fully qualified
pathname along with st_mtime will be keys for files.
Fixed problem where vpath can be confused when files
are added to a directory after the directory has already been
read in. The code now attempts to reread the directory if it
discovers that the datestamp on the directory has changed since
it was cached by make. This problem only seems to occur on WIN32
right now so it is lumped under port #ifdef WIN32.
* function.c: WIN32: call subproc library (CreateProcess()) instead of
fork/exec.
* job.c: WIN32: Added the code to do fork/exec/waitpid style processing
on WIN32 systems via calls to subproc library.
* main.c: WIN32: Several things added here. First, there is code
for dealing with PATH and SHELL defaults. Make tries to figure
out if the user has %PATH% set in the environment and sets it to
%Path% if it is not set already. Make also looks to see if sh.exe
is anywhere to be found. Code path through job.c will change
based on existence of a working Bourne shell. The checking for
default shell is done twice: once before makefiles are read in
and again after. Fall back to MSDOS style execution mode if no sh.exe
is found. Also added some debug support that allows user to pause make
with -D switch and attach a debugger. This is especially useful for
debugging recursive calls to make where problems appear only in the
sub-make.
* make.h: WIN32: A few macros and header files for WIN32 support.
* misc.c: WIN32: Added a function end_of_token_w32() to assist
in parsing code in read.c.
* read.c: WIN32: Fixes similar to MSDOS which allow colon to
appear in filenames. Use of colon in filenames would otherwise
confuse make.
* remake.c: WIN32: Added include of io.h to eliminate compiler
warnings. Added some code to default LIBDIR if it is not set
on WIN32.
* variable.c: WIN32: Added support for detecting Path/PATH
and converting them to semicolon separated lists for make's
internal use. New function sync_Path_environment()
which is called in job.c and function.c before creating a new
process. Caller must set Path in environment since we don't
have fork() to do this for us.
* vpath.c: WIN32: Added detection for filenames containing
forward or backward slashes.
* NMakefile: WIN32: Visual C compatible makefile for use with nmake.
Use this to build GNU make the first time on Windows NT or Windows 95.
* README.WIN32: WIN32: Contains some helpful notes.
* build_w32.bat: WIN32: If you don't like nmake, use this the first
time you build GNU make on Windows NT or Windows 95.
* config.h.WIN32: WIN32 version of config.h
* subproc.bat: WIN32: A bat file used to build the
subproc library from the top-level NMakefile. Needed because
WIndows 95 (nmake) doesn't allow you to cd in a make rule.
* w32/include/dirent.h
* w32/compat/dirent.c: WIN32: opendir, readdir, closedir, etc.
* w32/include/pathstuff.h: WIN32: used by files needed functions
defined in pathstuff.c (prototypes).
* w32/include/sub_proc.h: WIN32: prototypes for subproc.lib functions.
* w32/include/w32err.h: WIN32: prototypes for w32err.c.
* w32/pathstuff.c: WIN32: File and Path/Path conversion functions.
* w32/subproc/build.bat: WIN32: build script for subproc library
if you don't wish to use nmake.
* w32/subproc/NMakefile: WIN32: Visual C compatible makefile for use
with nmake. Used to build subproc library.
* w32/subproc/misc.c: WIN32: subproc library support code
* w32/subproc/proc.h: WIN32: subproc library support code
* w32/subproc/sub_proc.c: WIN32: subproc library source code
* w32/subproc/w32err.c: WIN32: subproc library support code
