Heads-up: automake 1.7.3 available

[Matthias Andree]

Hi,

I've just seen that automake 1.7.3 has been released, fixing a lot of
bugs in automake 1.7.0 to 1.7.2. I've given it a quick try, it passes
its selftests on my computer, and bogofilter's "make distcheck" is also
fine.

Two changes I personally find remarkable is that 1.7.3 renames the
=build and =inst directories to _build and _inst for compatibility with
DJGPP, but this also helps bash command-line completion; and it uses mv
-f rather than mv, which I've found to be necessary on some occasions
(when mv asked me whether it was supposed to overwrite write-protected
.Tpo files or something, maybe an artifact of make distdir and make
distcheck at the same time).

Get automake-1.7.3 it from any GNU mirrors.

Cheers,
