The 'noprocess' directive can be used to tell Autodist specificly not to
process files or directories. The Autodist will not process the files
-during preparation or during distribution packaging. This directive is
-optional. One or more files can be specified in the 'noprocess'
-directive. Zero or more 'noprocess' directives can be used in
-distribution. The <filename> can be a single file, a single directory or
-a regular expression that will match several files and/or directories.

+This macro is used to disable Autodist dependencies in 'Makefile.ad'
+files. If this macro is used, then after editing 'Makefile.ad' file the
+Autodist must be run manually. When dependencies are enabled editing
+Autodist is run automatically when source is compiled with 'make'.
+Dependencies make the development easier. This macro has no arguments.
+
+Note that, the dependencies are enabled only in the prepared source tree.
+Depedencies are not delivered to distribution, as they would require the
+presence of 'Makefile.ad' files, which are not delivered to distribution.
+
+Current Autodist version does not support dependencies in 'configure.ad'
+files, only in 'Makefile.ad' files.
