The GNITS is being referenced in the automake manual, but with no link to it! GNITS was usually quite a internal thing, but I dug it up from the dead a while a go (got a copy from Franc,ois Pinard many years ago I think); and now a copy--which has only had some structural changes so that it is in sync with the layout for the GNU Coding Standards--is avaiable in the GNU womb project.
I just commited the generated HTML pages for GNITS, so they should be avaiable from http://www.gnu.org/software/womb/gnits shortly (the top-level directory has no content yet). To get the texinfo source, just do: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/womb co gnits The old gnitpickers are quite welcome to keep fiddling with GNITS, consider me just the guardian until the old crew wakes up. :-)
