Because the changes to depcomp made it a lot stricter when probing
dependency modes, I'd be particularly interested by report from people
using non-gcc compilers.

Here is a list of changes since 1.7.5.  Thanks to all those would
helped by reporting bugs or sending patches.

Bugs fixed in 1.7.5b:
* Fix depcomp's icc mode for ICC 7.1.
* Diagnose calls to AC_CONFIG_FILES and friends with not enough arguments.
* Fix maintainer-clean's removal of autom4te.cache in VPATH builds.
* Fix AM_PATH_LISPDIR to work with POSIXLY_CORRECT=1.
* Fix the location reported in some diagnostics related to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
* Remove Latin-1 characters from elisp-comp.
* Update the manual's @dircategory to match the Free Software Directory.
