[Mono-list] my automake dislikes variable names in io-layer/Makefile.am

[Nick Drochak]

Dick,

When I autogen.sh in mono, I got this error:

mono/io-layer/Makefile.am:56: invalid unused variable name:
`WINDOWS_SOURCES'
mono/io-layer/Makefile.am:47: invalid unused variable name:
`OTHER_SOURCES'
**Error**: automake failed.


There is an excellent, and short, description of why here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2001-08/msg00046.html

Essentially, it comes down to the fact that variables ending in
"_SOURCES" are special. Since nothing 'useful' is done with those
variables, the error is reported.

I changed the names of the variables so that autogen.sh could complete.
Please see the diff below...

Regards,
Nick D.
