Dag Wieers caught all the double word's in Configure.help (from the looks of the patch we're quite a bunch of stutterers), here's another patch that catches mainly some combined words, a '2.3' - '2.4', and inproper capitalizations. Also, two of the translation's for Configure.help have stale URL's... I've XXX'd them, and sent a mail to the addresses for the maintainers of the Spanish and Italian translation to see if there is a new URL. The patch applies to 2.4.0 clean and to -ac4 with a bunch of offset warnings, but manages to match all the hunks. (go, patch!) -- Jeremy M.
