create_makefiles - Recreates all Makefiles beneath a directory create_makefiles [dir]

Description

       create_makefiles recreates all Makefiles in dir and its (recursed)
       subdirectories from the corresponding Makefile.am templates.

       This script must be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing
       configure). This script saves time compared to re-running configure
       completely.

       If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the
       environment variables below), it will be assumed that each Makefile.am
       and Makefile.in belongs beneath the source directory and that each
       Makefile belongs beneath the build directory.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

Environment

       One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
       source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
       directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler
       variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.

       OBJ_SUBJDIR
           Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of
           the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
           kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then
           OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.

       OBJ_REPLACEMENT
           A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory
           into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
           kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to
           s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
