The various supporting files that Automake includes in the distribution package, including install-sh, do all generally have version numbers in some form. Maybe distcheck should just directly check that the included files have sufficiently recent versions? I know that version checks normally go against the philosophy of the Autotools, but in this case they're files shipped by Automake itself, and it might be the easiest path. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
