+The 'prereq' may be used to enforce the Autodist version. If the Autodist

+@section Autodist dependency support
+
+Autodist support dependencies for 'Makefile.ad' and 'configure.ad' files.
+When these files are edited, they are processed by Autodist automatically
+when the source tree is compiled with 'make'. This makes development in
+the source tree easier, when Autodist does not have to be run manually.
+The dependencies can be disabled by using 'AD_DISABLE_DEPENDENCIES' macro
+in the 'configure.ad' file.
+
+When editing 'configure.ad' fragments the modifcation is detected when the
+source tree is compiled with 'make' from the top source directory.
+Giving 'make' in a subdirectory will not detect a change in 'configure.ad'
+fragment.
+
+Dependencies are present only in the prepared source tree. They are not
+delivered to created distribution, as they depend on 'Makefile.ad' and
+'configure.ad' files which are not present in the created distribution.
+Autodist automatically removes the dependencies when the distribution is
+created.
