Gotta reinstate my shell account at the FSF, synchronize libltdl changes I've
made for m4, add a feature to diagnose version mismatch between libtool.m4 and
ltmain.sh, take advantage of aclocal-1.8's m4_include feature -- this will
reduce the distribution tarball size by 20-40% by my estimation.
Unless the Automake team release 1.8 very soon, I'd hope to have it done well
inside a month behind the Automake release, with a beta a week or two before that.
I also think I know how to remove the double configure requirement in the
libtool bootstrap, but that is a bonus feature that relies on some of the work
above being done by someone other than me, and isn'ta requirement for a 1.6
release.
Cheers,
Gary.
