The R Project SVN R

These files are shell and perl scripts used for configuring/building R.
They are not required at run time, and hence not installed.

The files are as follows.

  config.guess
  config.sub
  install-sh
  mdate-sh
  missing
  mkinstalldirs
    standard tools from GNU autoconf.  Taken from the autoconf CVS
    (pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/autoconf, module 
    `autoconf').

  GETCONFIG
    create API `Rconfig.h' from the configure information in
    `config.h'.
  GETMAKEVAL
    get the value of a Make variable from a Makefile [this needs to
    be improved].
  GETVERSION
    create API `Rversion.h' from `VERSION' and `date-stamp'.
  
  Rdnewer.pl
    determine whether any Rd file in an Rd tree is newer than a
    given file.
  
  copy-if-change
    copy a file if changed; otherwise, do nothing.

  help2man.pl
