Re: 1.8.3: --force-missing installs old files

[Karl Berry]

    IMHO this is what should happen when you --force-missing.  The
    name of this option says it all.  

Ok.  Then I suggest changing the documentation to warn that
--force-missing actually always installs the current automake version,
even if the user's current version is newer.  Right now it is silent
about that.

    nice that --add-missing alone (or maybe this should be
    --update-missing) check versions or contents.

Yes, it would be nice to have an option that updates whatever is older.

Thanks.
