This mirrors a similar recent fix to automake.texi.
Any technical reasons against this patch?
The rest of the manual greps ok.
Regardless of Gary's affirmation, I don't think that replacing 'he'
with 'you' is suitable. 'He' and 'you' are not at all equivalent
terms.
I'm really confused now. Is there any specific formulation, sentence,
or something in the manual that my change made worse in any way?
In all autotools manuals, use of "you" is already abundant.
Actually, in this and many other cases I consider the use of "you" to
be better style for a technical manual, since it actively engages the
reader in a conversation by talking to the directly.
