i can work with this
so plan is to update maintainer/maint.mk:
* web-manual will insert a link to the full versioned index in the index.html
that gendocs.sh produces
* i'm assuming that we don't want to modify lib/gendocs_template since it's
synced with upstream gnulib
* web-manual-update
as folks are aware, some projects require specific versions of autotools.
the exact reasons don't matter (e.g. committed files ala gcc/binutils/gdb,
working on an old branch/release, etc...). i'd like to focus on one part:
downstream distros will often carry backports to keep older versions

Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/16714.
The testsuite will try and retain these env vars when recursively
running itself, but doesn't distinguish between vars coming from
the env where the tests were launched. This breaks if the user
happens to `export ACLOCAL=alocal` before `make check`.

We need to escape the quotes so eval sees them when expanding the
variable value, not when quoting the variable name itself.
* t/local.mk: Escape quotes to eval.
