+# Autodist configuration file
+
+# By default distdef prefix is '_DIST_'.  To add your own prefix set the
+# prefix here.  NOTE: Remember to change all 'define' directives in
+# distributions to use the new prefix if you change it.  Example:
+#
+# DISTPREFIX="SILC"
+#
+# Will set the distdef prefix as 'SILC_DIST_'.
+# 
 DISTPREFIX="SILC"
 
+# The distdef header will be created by the Autodist.  It need to be included
+# in the source code in order for the preprocessor to respect distdef 
+# conditionals in source code.  Example:
+#
+# DISTDEFS="include/distdefs.h"
+#
 DISTDEFS="includes/silcdistdefs.h"
 
+# Location of the aclocal tool.  If this is omitted the Autodist will not

+# run autoheader.  User need to run it manually then.
