 Outputting Files
 ================
 
    Every Autoconf script, e.g., `configure.ac', should finish by
 calling `AC_OUTPUT'.  That is the macro that generates `config.status',
 which will create the `Makefile's and any other files resulting from
 configuration.  This is the only required macro besides `AC_INIT'
 ( Input).
 
  - Macro: AC_OUTPUT
      Generate `config.status' and launch it.  Call this macro once, at
      the end of `configure.ac'.
 
      `config.status' will perform all the configuration actions: all the
      output files (see  Configuration Files, macro
DONTPRINTYET       `AC_CONFIG_FILES'), header files (see  Configuration
      Headers, macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS'), commands (see *Note
DONTPRINTYET       `AC_CONFIG_FILES'), header files (see  Configuration
      Headers, macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADERS'), commands (see 

      Configuration Commands, macro `AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS'), links (see
       Configuration Links, macro `AC_CONFIG_LINKS'),
      subdirectories to configure (see  Subdirectories, macro
      `AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS') are honored.
 
    Historically, the usage of `AC_OUTPUT' was somewhat different.
  Obsolete Macros, for a description of the arguments that
 `AC_OUTPUT' used to support.
 
    If you run `make' in subdirectories, you should run it using the
 `make' variable `MAKE'.  Most versions of `make' set `MAKE' to the name
 of the `make' program plus any options it was given.  (But many do not
 include in it the values of any variables set on the command line, so
 those are not passed on automatically.)  Some old versions of `make' do
 not set this variable.  The following macro allows you to use it even
 with those versions.
 
  - Macro: AC_PROG_MAKE_SET
      If `make' predefines the variable `MAKE', define output variable
      `SET_MAKE' to be empty.  Otherwise, define `SET_MAKE' to contain
      `MAKE=make'.  Calls `AC_SUBST' for `SET_MAKE'.
 
    If you use this macro, place a line like this in each `Makefile.in'
 that runs `MAKE' on other directories:
 
      @SET_MAKE@
