 Version 1.3.18 (In progress)
 ============================
 
+12/23/2002: cheetah (William Fulton)
+            Further build changes:
+            - The SWIG executable is now built using a single Makefile.
+            - This makefile is generated by Automake (Source/Makefile.am).
+            - Dependency tracking and tags support are in this makefile.
+            - Automake 1.7.2 and Autoconf 2.54 minimum versions are needed to build SWIG from CVS.
+            - Running ./autogen.sh now installs Autoconf/Automake support files into
+              Tools/config and these files are no longer stored in CVS.
+            - Bug fixes in 'make install' for systems using .exe executable extension and 
+              ./configure --with-release-suffix=whatever
