There are list archives from that time, here: <http://sourceware.org/ml/autoconf-patches/2000-06/msg00083.html> I have had collecting and sending them to gmane.org for inclusion on my "todo sometime" list forever. If somebody wants to do it, I'd be delighted. (gmane has a nice strategy to insert old content while keeping ordering and link stability; see <http://gmane.org/import.php>.) > Until I can patch enough things to at least get a clean testsuite run, I > can't > apply this to mainline yet.
