I wanted to create my program (neuralnet) in Gnuastro. 

To begin, I copied the TEMPLATE file in the "gnuastro/bin" directory and
renamed the it to my program name. 
Then, to add my program name to the "Makefile.am" file in "gnuastro/doc"
directory, I copied the specified
lines as TEMPLATE. 
After pasting it in the proper place,  I renamed the TEMPLATE to my program
name. However, I compared these 
lines with the lines of other programs and realized that the "--libtool"
option has not been considered for the TEMPLATE:

man/*asttable*.1: $(top_srcdir)/bin/table/args.h  $(ALLMANSDEP)
        $(MAYBE_HELP2MAN) -n "read and write ASCII and FITS tables" \
                          *--libtool* $(toputildir)/table/asttable

#man/*astTEMPLATE*.1: $(top_srcdir)/bin/TEMPLATE/args.h  $(ALLMANSDEP)
#       $(MAYBE_HELP2MAN) -n "put a short description here"  \
                          $(toputildir)/TEMPLATE/astTEMPLATE

This option is essential for using GNU Libtool with every new program. 
Thus, I think we should add this option to the TEMPLATE so that the developers
can consider it for future programs.
