Introduce non-deterministic ordering into goal and prerequisite
traversal to help tease out inconsistent failures that may happen
when running in parallel build mode.
Introduce second order into each dependency chain:
1. Existing order is syntactic order reachable via 'dep->next'
2. New order is shuffled order stored as 'dep->shuf' in each 'dep'
When updating goals and prerequisites and '--shuffle' is provided,
use the shuffled order to walk the graph. When automatic variable
are set always use the syntactic order of parameters.

Move content from glob/* and config/* into standard GNU directory
locations lib/* and m4/*.
Install the gnulib bootstrap script and its configuration file, and
create a bootstrap.bat file for Windows. Update the README.git file
with new requirements and instructions for building from Git.
At this point we only install the alloca, getloadavg, and FDL modules
from gnulib. We keep our old glob/fnmatch implementation since the
gnulib versions require significant amounts of infrastructure which
doesn't exist on Windows yet. Further work is required here.
Due to a problem with gnulib's version of getloadavg, we need to bump
the minimum required version of automake to 1.16.1 unfortunately.
* README.git: Update instructions
* NEWS: Move developer news to a separate section
* configure.ac: Update for use with gnulib modules
* bootstrap: Bootstrap from Git workspace (import from gnulib)
* bootstrap.conf: Bootstrap configuration for GNU make

* gl/modules/make-glob: Support our local fnmatch/glob implementation
* config/acinclude.m4: Move to m4/
* config/dospaths.m4: Move to m4/
* glob/fnmatch.c: Move to lib/
* glob/fnmatch.h.in: Move to lib/

Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.
Update all scripting and recommendations to support this change.
* *.c, *.h, w32/*: Move to src/
* configure.ac, Makefile.am, maintMakefile: Locate new source files.
* Basic.mk.template, mk/*: Update for new source file locations.
* NEWS, README.DOS.template: Update for new locations.
* build.template, build_w32.bat, builddos.bat: Ditto.
* po/POTFILES.in: Ditto
* tests/run_make_tests.pl, tests/scripts/features/load*: Ditto.
* make.1: Move to doc.
* mk/VMS.mk: Add support for building on VMS (hopefully).
* makefile.vms, prepare_w32.bat: Remove.
* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
Rename existing ChangeLog files so they won't be distributed.
Add targets to maintMakefile to generate ChangeLog from the Git
repository. This will require a version of gnulib be available.
Because ChangeLog is auto-generated, we have to switch our
automake mode to "foreign" or it will complain and fail.
Create a new file, output.c, and collect functions that generate output there.
We introduce a new global context specifying where output should go (to stdout
or to a sync file), and the lowest level output generator chooses where to
write output based on that context.
This allows us to set the context globally, and all operations that write
output (including functions like $(info ...) etc.) will use it.
Removed the "--trace=dir" capability. It was too confusing. If you have
directory tracking enabled then output sync will print the enter/leave message
for each synchronized block. If you don't want that, disable directory
tracking.
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.
One of our translations disappeared from the translations site so remove it.
The fdl.texi file was changed to not contain any @node entries, so add some
around it in make.texi.
- Apply a fix for the "thundering herd" problem when using "-j -l".
This also fixes bug #4693.
- Fix bug #7257: allow functions as ifdef arguments
- Fix bug #4518: make sure we print all double-colon rules with -p.
- Upgrade to autconf 2.58/automake 1.8/gettext 0.13.1
- Various doc cleanups, etc.
Fixed problems with the dist target (adding missing files).
Workaround for a bug in gettext 0.12.1 po/Makefile.in.in where distclean
wasn't cleaning everything, which caused distcheck to fail.
