    Merge branch 'maint' (with fix for CVE-2012-3386)

    This makes the fix for a locally-exploitable security vulnerability
    (CVE-2012-3386) available to the Automake master branch.

    * maint:
      sync: update files from upstream with "make fetch"
      news: improve wording in entry about CVE-2012-3386
      maint: post-release minor version bump
      release: stable release 1.12.2
      distcheck: never make part of $(distdir) world-writable
      compat: automake should substitute @mkdir_p@, for backward compatibility
      fixup: t/README: it's ./runtest, not ./t/ax/runtest
