Thanks, this is nicer. (Should I set my alarm clock to increment the default in July 2007? :-) I'd rather not put '--assume-autoconf=2.60' in my bootstrap scripts, though, since that's one more number to maintain manually. I'll put in '--assume-autoconf=latest-stable' instead. That works. I installed the following patch to document this usage: 2006-07-20 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * gnulib-tool (func_usage): Document --assume-autoconf='latest-stable'. --- gnulib-tool.~1.119.~ 2006-07-20 09:36:13.000000000 -0700 +++ gnulib-tool 2006-07-20 09:41:21.000000000 -0700 @@ -103,6 +103,8 @@ Operation modes: Options: --assume-autoconf=VERSION Assume a given autoconf version (or newer). + If VERSION is 'latest-stable', assume the latest + stable version. --avoid=MODULE Avoid including the given MODULE.
