AC_INIT takes in parameters the name of the package, its version

address is output at the end of ./configure --help, for instance).
That's not a sentence. "takes in parameters the name" should be
reworded. Something as simple as the word "as" between "in" and
"parameters" would work: ..takes in as parameters the name..
Thanks, I fixed that in the git version.
Also awkward is: ( from paragraph 3 of s 2.2.10)
"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute
name of a directory in which all the installation will be diverted."
Perhaps it would be better re-worded:
"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute
name of a directory into which the installation will be diverted."
or
"but when running make install the DESTDIR should be set to the absolute
name of a directory into which the package will be installed."
