 Handling new file extensions
 ============================
 
    It is sometimes useful to introduce a new implicit rule to handle a
 file type that Automake does not know about.  If this is done, you must
 notify GNU Make of the new suffixes.  This can be done by putting a list
 of new suffixes in the `SUFFIXES' variable.
 
    For instance, currently Automake does not provide any Java support.
 If you wrote a macro to generate `.class' files from `.java' source
 files, you would also need to add these suffixes to the list:
 
      SUFFIXES = .java .class
