Can you delete this boilerplate from existing makefiles if not already done? That will prevent people from adding it since people look at examples when adding new makefiles.

Hi, Assuming it sticks, bug 912293 made it unnecessary to start Makefile.in files with the usual boilerplate: DEPTH = @DEPTH@ topsrcdir = @top_srcdir@ srcdir = @srcdir@ VPATH = @srcdir@ relativesrcdir = @relativesrcdir@ include $(DEPTH)/config/autoconf.mk All of the above can now be skipped. Directories that do require a different value for e.g. VPATH or relativesrcdir can still place a value that will be taken instead of the default. It is not recommended to do that in new Makefile.in files, or to change existing files to do that, but the existing files that did require such different values still do use those different values. Also, if the last line of a Makefile.in is: include $(topsrcdir)/config/rules.mk That can be skipped as well.
