 I was hoping that AM_SILENT_RULES would silence the complex makeinfo
 invocations on texinfo files, but it doesn't. I thought that might've
 been OK, since the info files are usually generated before
 distribution, but `make pdf' (or ps, or dvi, or html) still have
 unsilenced output.

I suppose we'll silence more rules in a future release.
If you are willing to work on patches (and don't have a
problem with copyright assignment) then you are welcome to
help.  Otherwise it will get done eventually.  :-)

There are quite a few more rules that are not silent.
I expect heated discussion over the silencing issue for at
least some of them ...

Cheers,
Ralf

My assignment is currently incomplete (my main assignment is done, but
I'm missing one disclaimer). I'll expect to have the disclaimer done
in the next couple of weeks.

I've added this to my TODO list.
