Turn Makefile.am into a Makefile

When you change a Makefile.am, and there is already a Makefile generated from it, you can simply use "make" and the Makefile will be regenerated.

Wf there is no Makefile yet, you have two choices: either do a make -f Makefile.cvs at the toplevel, and re-run configure, to regenerate all Makefiles, or you can use the create_makefile script, located in the scripts directory of the kdesdk directory (and installed as part of kdesdk).

To use this script, simply type

create_makefile subdir

in the parent directory of "subdir". This will create subdir/Makefile from subdir/Makefile.am.

There is also a create_makefiles script which works recursively down through a directory tree.
