The INSTALL file does not have any of those things.  It launches
straight into the installation instructions without any title or author.
Perhaps you can look at the INSTALL file and propose a better place
for the copyright notice; that might be more efficient than
back-and-forth email like this.  Here's the URL for the source:

http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/autoconf/doc/install.texi

Unfortunately this URL currently fails due to some problem at
subversions, so unfortunately I can't send you the current text.  I'll
CC this message to address@hidden to let them know that
subversions seems to be hosed.


PS to cvs-hackers: When I try to visit:

http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/autoconf/doc/install.texi?rev=1.35&content-type=text/plain

I get the message

Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs checkout: Sorry, you don't
