Changelog:

Autoperl 1.25 June 24th, 2005

* Fixed the following bugs:
    [ 1225983 ] copyright notice stops in 2004
    [ 1225982 ] internal configure version stuck at 1.10
    [ 1225988 ] sysconfdir definition does not match documentation
    [ 1226533 ] variables are not propagated to config.h in
subdirectories
    [ 1225984 ] sbin_PROGRAMS variable corruption

* Fixed problems parsing _ARG and _ARG_HELP that caused the regression
  tests '8 - custom arguments (default)' and '9 - custom arguments
(override)'  to fail.

* Fixed: `./configure --without-dependency-tracking' now works and
  is documented in the --help page

* Permit config.h to be in a parent directory, and expand statements
  like 'require "../config.h"' in source files.

* Force variables in %ap::config to be lower-case and replace
  dashes with underscores

* Add accessor methods so $ap::config{sbindir} could be referenced
  as &ap::sbindir

* The linker removes the __END__ marker and any additional lines
  from the output file.

* When generating the 'make dist' target, include 'README.*'

* Running `./configure --verbose' prints to STDOUT instead of STDERR

* The 'make test' target no longer uses Test::Harness; this means the
  full name of each test is printed.

* New: `./configure --quiet' will only print error messages to the
screen.
