Can someone else verify that this is working? For me a tarball built

Hi,
Should autoconf build from tarball without help2man? I built a tarball
of git master with 'make dist' but when I attempt to build that on
another system it fails if help2man isn't present. Shouldn't this be a
requirement only for the git builds? 2.69 doesn&#

In fact, help2man itself is just 11493 butes long.
We only need to substitute @PERL@ there.

Hello!
Shouldn't Autoconf sources mention somewhere what is the right version of
help2man and where to get it? Maybe we need a file HACKING?

I don't think your patch is right: you are hiding a problem. I think
`missing' should not exit 0 when it doesn't know what to do, but
I suppose this is debatable.
IMHO the right patch is to teach `help2man' to `missing'. It does

OK, thanks.

Over my dead body :)
I see no relationship with AM_BROKEN_MODE here, I did use `missing',
since `help2man' is a maintainer tool, but probably failed to use it
properly.

that's a goal (but in practice, I've seen a number of programs packaged
that don't achieve that goal - about half the time I simply delete them).

Why does autoconf require another program to install? This other
program is not included in the CVS. The error message seems to
indicate that not having the program is not critical (
see the WARNING: message) but the "make install" fails
to run without the help2man program.
