Alex, did you file the papers with the FSF? I don't recall seeing a
message from them. The patches can't go in until the paperwork
clears. If you did this in the past and I forgot, please accept my
apologies.
Ideally the patch would have documentation changes (we've historically
been very bad about this -- at least the patsubst change needs
documenting) and some test cases.
Parts of the patch don't follow the coding style. Eg there are spaces
after parens instead of before them in some situations.
I don't mind the "make -q" thing, but adding a new .am file to
parallel many existing ones seems bad. Couldn't we do this by having
conditional text in the .am files? That is how we handle other
situations.
Tom
