Dear developers, I found that several files inside GNU Autoconf used the URI <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp> to redirect users that need help with GNU programs. While this URI is still valid, it is in fact a redirection to <http://www.gnu.org/help/gethelp.html>. I think it would be nice to change the URI to point to the right location.
Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer the shorter URI for the mere fact that it is shorter, and is also output by numerous GNU programs (such as 'ls --help'). There is nothing wrong with documenting a link that happens to redirect.
