Usage: $0 [COMMAND]

This is an automation script designed to work with autotools. It creates a
directory "./_build" and builds any files inside it. Its behaviour is
somewhat configurable: See "./Build.rc" for details.

If no COMMAND is given, it defaults to "build".

Commands:
    build          run "$0 configure" then make(1)
    check [ARGS]   run "$0 build" then "make check [ARGS]"
    autogen        run autoreconf(1)
    configure      run "$0 autogen" and "./configure" if necessary
    clean          run "rm -rf _build"
    dist           run "make dist"
    distcheck      run "$0 configure" then "make distcheck"
    doc            similar to "$0 build" but only build the documentation
    help           print this message
    install [ARGS] run "$0 build" then "make install [ARGS]"
    -- [ARGS]      run "make [ARGS]"

Please report any bugs, feature requests, and pull requests (the most
preferred!) to the maintainer presented in the preamble of the "$0" itself.
