    There is an incomplete sentence in texinfo.txi around line 13190:

Thanks, fixed.

    Additionally, I think the following patch to `bootstrap' is necessary

Looks reasonable to me.

    (I've fixed this previously in README.dev, but it has been removed --
    intentionally?

Not intentionally.  Sorry if I zapped it unintentionally.  There is the
-I m4 argument to aclocal in README.dev.  That's the only auto* program
I ever passed it to myself.  Is it needed for others?


BTW, as long as we're talking auto*, what do others think of adding
"maintainer mode"?  That way the Makefile's won't get rebuilt spuriously
when the sources are readded to other source code control systems and
the timestamps get messed up.  Which seems to happen a lot.
I can't really see any practical downside to it, philosophically it
shouldn't be necessary, but ...

Thanks,
karl
