Every file that has a copyright statement needs to be touched.

I don't know which one is installed, but the new one is broken and
the old one is not up to date.

This one:
ENVIRONMENT
FIXME
tab(:); ctB ltB. T{ Environment Variable T}:T{ Description T} lt lt lt
lt lt lt lt lt lt lt lt lt. T{ DISPLAY T}:T{ Fvwm starts on this
display unless the -display option is given. T} T{ FVWM_MODULEDIR
T}:T{ Set by fvwm to the directory containing the standard fvwm
modules. T} T{ FVWM_USERDIR T}:T{ Used to determine the userŽs data
...
Just found another one below the --color-limit option:
allbox tab(:); lB lB lB. T{ T}:T{ depth 8 (256 colors) T}:T{
depth 4 (16 colors) T} l l l l l l l l l. T{ PseudoColor T}:T{ 68
(4 cc + 4 grey) T}:T{ 10 (2 cc + 2 grey) T} T{ GrayScale T}:T{ 64
regular grey T}:T{ 8 regular grey T} T{ DirectColor T}:T{ 32 (3 cc
+ 5 grey) T}:T{ 10 (2 cc + 2 grey) T}
And mor if you search for the pattern T}. And there seems to be a
problem with certain quotes:
A prefix of ŽcŽ is equivalent to "o50". Examples:

You have to touch a lot of files to make the new command known
everywhere. I have already reduced the number of files and want
toi bring it down to 0. Just add the new xml file and have
everything else done automatically.

There are two issues with the current HTML output:
* The source file for the big command list has lines that contain
some a separator "--". This will be hard to do automatically.
* The logical grouping of commands can not be done without
knowing the semantics of the commands.

Because fvwm's name is fvwm, not FVWM. I'll change that in other
places soon.

Because they just cause unnecessary diffs when comparing versions.
If you want to know which version you have you can always type
$ cvs status foo.c
or look at the information stored in CVS/Entries.
