problem with xmldocs.make with new automake

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Hi John,

I ran into some troubles with your xmldocs.make infrastructure with 
automakes 1.6.  New automake actually processes include statements 
itself, and includes the contents (so the includes actually get 
processed as automake input).  Unfortunately there is a bug in this 
code, which trips up on this section:
 $(docname).xml: $(entities)
         -ourdir=`pwd`;  \
         cd $(srcdir);   \
         cp $(entities) $$ourdir

It trips up on the line with the equals sign, and treats it as a 
variable definition (and reorders it out of the rule).  The bug has been 
reported to the automake guys:
