Hi Gavin and all - the patch below:
1) adds a newline ^^J before "Warning:" messages to help find them in
the output, as well as keep the msg from breaking over lines.
2) adds \linenumber to "Warning:" messages if not already present.
3) adds the "Warning:" prefix to the unbalanced paren and
"No ... floats" msgs.
Aside: maybe the unbalanced parens should actually be an error? And
detected by makeinfo? Since otherwise the "continued" text becomes part
of the definition. E.g., source like this does not come out right in TeX:
@defmac AM_PROG_VALAC (@ovar{minimum-version}, @ovar{action-if-found},
@ovar{action-if-not-found})
It has to be continued with a lone "@" at the end of the @def line.
I found this stuff when I happened to look at the automake.log file.
A \txiwarning macro would probably in order, but I didn't get that
far. Sorry. -k
