+# 
+# No modifications of this Makefile should be necessary.
+#
+# This file contains the build instructions for installing OMF files.  It is
+# generally called from the makefiles for particular formats of documentation.
+#
+# Note that you must configure your package with --localstatedir=/var/lib
+# so that the scrollkeeper-update command below will update the database
+# in the standard scrollkeeper directory.
+#
+# If it is impossible to configure with --localstatedir=/var/lib, then
+# modify the definition of scrollkeeper_localstate_dir so that
+# it points to the correct location. Note that you must still use 
+# $(localstatedir) in this or when people build RPMs it will update
+# the real database on their system instead of the one under RPM_BUILD_ROOT.
+#
+# Note: This make file is not incorporated into xmldocs.make because, in
+#       general, there will be other documents install besides XML documents
+#       and the makefiles for these formats should also include this file.
+#
+# About this file:
+#	This file was taken from scrollkeeper_example2, a package illustrating
+#	how to install documentation and OMF files for use with ScrollKeeper
+#	0.3.x and 0.4.x.  For more information, see:

+# No modifications of this Makefile should be necessary.
+#
+# To use this template:
+#     1) Define: figdir, docname, lang, omffile, and entities in
+#        your Makefile.am file for each document directory,
+#        although figdir, omffile, and entities may be empty
+#     2) Make sure the Makefile in (1) also includes 
+#	 "include $(top_srcdir)/doc/xmldocs.make" and
+#	 "dist-hook: app-dist-hook".
+#     3) Optionally define 'entities' to hold xml entities which
+#        you would also like installed
+#     4) Figures must go under $(figdir)/ and be in PNG format
+#     5) You should only have one document per directory 
+#     6) Note that the figure directory, $(figdir)/, should not have its
+#        own Makefile since this Makefile installs those figures.
+#
+# example Makefile.am:
+#   figdir = figures
+#   docname = scrollkeeper-manual
+#   lang = C
+#   omffile=scrollkeeper-manual-C.omf
+#   entities = fdl.xml
+#   include $(top_srcdir)/help/xmldocs.make
+#   dist-hook: app-dist-hook
