This new package provides a wrapper system for the various automakeX.Y 
packages, and plays a role similar to that of the long-standing autoconf 
wrapper package.

This wrapper system is based on the bash am-wrapper developed by the 
gentoo distribution, with tweaks to support cygwin's existing 
alternatives framework for switching between the various installed 
automakes.

The end-user experience should be transparent: invoke 'automake' and the 
wrapper will select the appropriate version based on the contents of the 
files in the directory where it is invoked (e.g. if Makefile.in was 
created by automake-1.6 from Makefile.am, then the wrapper will "know" 
to invoke automake-1.6).

This package is based on the automake-1-1 distributed by the 
cygwin-ports team.
