I agree in general, although I'd prefer to see gnulib support autoconf 2.60a, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.15 for some time more, because that is what is installed on my up-to-date Debian 'unstable' box. However, I suppose they are recent enough not to cause any problems? (CC to other lists dropped.) /Simon
