-Modernization of configure.ac and fixing of certain abuses
-of DVDNAV_ macros that allegedly can't be used that way
-(dunno, I just trust Dan).
-Patch by Dan Nicholson
+Patch by Dan Nicholson. His explanation follows:
+We want to pass the version number to AC_INIT rather than
+AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. Since we can't pass shell variables to AC_INIT, just
+define the version numbers in m4. We could just duplicate the version
+into AC_INIT and keep the shell variables as is, but this is a little
+cleaner, IMO. Later, we just recreate the DVDNAV_* shell variables
+with the m4 values, and everything is the same as it was before.
+
+Once we have the version being specified in AC_INIT, we can use the
+new style AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (in the next commit) where we specify
+options for automake, such as the automake prerequisite, if we want to
+create a bzipped tarball, etc.
