Pinging this patch again, following this: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2010-11/msg00003.html>
There should be no need to rebase the patch (which is based off of maint), so that I should just be able to merge it to master from the copy in my local automake repository (maybe fixing the date of the ChangeLog entry after the merge?) Regards, Stefano
