@section Directive: noprocess <filename> [...]
-The 'noprocess' directive can be used to tell Autodist specificly not to
-process a file. The Autodist will not process the file during
-preparation or during distribution packaging. This directive is optional.
-One or more file can be specified in the 'noprocess' directive. Zero or
-more 'noprocess' directives can be used in distribution. The <filename>
-can be a single file or a regular expression that will match several files.
-Note that, in current Autodist version 'noprocess' cannot be used to
-specify directories.
+The 'noprocess' directive can be used to tell Autodist specificly not to
+process files or directories. The Autodist will not process the files
+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.
Example:
@example
noprocess autodist.texi
-noprocess apps/foo/*
+noprocess apps/foo/
@end example
-Autodist will not process 'autodist.texi' file, and any file that match
-'apps/foo/*'. Note that, any subdirectory under 'apps/foo/' will not
-match, and will be processed.
+Autodist will not process 'autodist.texi' file, and any files and
+directories under 'apps/foo/'.
-Also note that, 'noprocess' directive cannot be used to disallow
+Note that, 'noprocess' directive cannot be used to disallow
processing of any file with '.ad' suffix.
Note that, the 'configure.ad' fragments are not real full featured
configure scripts. They must not use 'AD_INIT', 'AD_INCLUDE_CONFIGURE',
'AC_INIT' or any other initialization macros.

+@defmac AD_DISABLE_DEPENDENCIES
+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.
