A couple of thoughts about the latest Automake beta.
A trivial one: NEWS says ``an "Hello World!" example''; ``a'' sounds
better to me here.
A bit less trivial: it's time to retire de-ANSI-fication. The
first step is to warn people about it in the documentation.
Here's a proposed patch.

And rightly
Hi,
I have a Makefile.am containing
line 15: noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libgettextlib.la
line 268: lib_LTLIBRARIES = libgettextlib.la
automake-1.9.6 gives an error on it:
gnulib-lib/Makefile.am:15: libgettextlib.la multiply defined in condition TRUE
gnulib-lib/Makefile.am:15: `libgettextlib.la' sh
