+* New configure runtime warnings about "rm -f" support:
+
+  - To simplify transition to Automake 2.0, the shell code expanded by
+    AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE now checks (at configure runtime) that the default
+    'rm' program in PATH doesn't complain when called without any
+    non-option argument if the '-f' option is given (so that commands
+    like "rm -f" and "rm -rf" act as a no-op, instead of raising usage
+    error).  If this is not the case,
+    the configure script is aborted, to call the attention of the user
+    on the issue, and invite him to fix his PATH.  The checked 'rm'
+    behavior is very widespread in the wild, and will be required by
+    future POSIX version:
+
+        <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=542>
+
+    The user can still force the configure process to complete even in the
+    presence of a broken 'rm' by defining the ACCEPT_INFERIOR_RM_PROGRAM
+    environment variable to "yes".  And the generated Makefiles should
+    still work correctly even when such broken 'rm' is used.  But note
+    that this will no longer be the case with Automake 2.0 though, so, if
+    you encounter the warning, please report it to us ASAP (and try to fix
+    your environment as well).
