[ardour-dev] Unpacking the tarball(s)

[Taybin Rutkin]

.in files are generally files which are templates for other files to be created from.  So something like ardour.rc.in generates the ardour.rc file as part of the build.

.ac is autoconf.  .am is automake.  .po files hold the translations.  You can pretty much ignore the .ac and .am files, I hope.  They are leftovers from a previous build system.
