Welcome to yaheath's fork of asuswrt-merlin.

The buildfix branch removes auto{conf,make,etc} generated files from git and instead uses autoreconf or autogen.sh to create them at build time. This way just doing a build won't cause a bunch of files to appear as modified by git.

This also has the effect of making the build work under a wider variety of host distros, since it is less sensitive to the exact versions of the auto{conf,make,etc} tools.
