 Executable Scripts
 ==================
 
    It is possible to define and install programs which are scripts.
 Such programs are listed using the `SCRIPTS' primary name.  Automake
 doesn't define any dependencies for scripts; the `Makefile.am' should
 include the appropriate rules.
 
    Automake does not assume that scripts are derived objects; such
 objects must be deleted by hand ( Clean.).
 
    The `automake' program itself is a Perl script that is generated at
 configure time from `automake.in'.  Here is how this is handled:
 
      bin_SCRIPTS = automake
 
    Since `automake' appears in the `AC_OUTPUT' macro, a target for it
 is automatically generated.
 
    Script objects can be installed in `bindir', `sbindir',
 `libexecdir', or `pkgdatadir'.
