.SH "NAME"
gnuconfig \- automatically update files that typically come with automake.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBgnuconfig\fR eclass is used to automatically update files that typically
come with automake to the newest version available on the system. The most 
common use of this is to update config.guess and config.sub when configure dies
from misguessing your canonical system name (CHOST). It can also be used to 
update other files that come with automake, e.g. depcomp, mkinstalldirs, etc.
.SH "FUNCTIONS"

If called without arguments, config.guess and config.sub will be updated.  All
files in the source tree (\fB${S}\fR) with the given name(s) will be replaced with the
newest available versions.  This function is usually called from \fIsrc_unpack\fR.
