Some indented examples were changed to use the Texinfo "@ " command (yes, that really is a space character) to preserve correct indentation. The "@ " command is treated as a single space by Tex and makeinfo, but prevents Emacs from complaining about indentation using spaces instead of tabs. Several examples also had various indentation irregularities that appeared in the output; these are also fixed.Applied; thanks. Documentation fixes are gratefully received. The library reference appendix needs a lot of gaps filled if you are feeling like it. :)
That is on my local TODO list, after quite a bit of other code and documentation work, including sorting out "which of these procedures should be in an exported API and which should be considered internal?" That it is mentioned at all suggests that it could be an API call, but lacking documentation could also suggest that it was meant to be internal.
Also, after what threshold of adding/reorganizing/etc. the manual do we have to change the cover page to list "Rob Savoye, et al" and "Cygnus Support and the GNU Project"?
I *think* that would be the right way to attribute it: Rob Savoye is the first author and was probably working at Cygnus when the manual was written (the manual seems to have been written during the early-ish days at Cygnus and then forgotten as DejaGnu developed further -- not unreasonable since for some time nearly everyone using DejaGnu probably also worked at Cygnus and would have simply "talked to Rob" about any questions). There are now other authors, the ChangeLog and Git history document who wrote what parts, and DejaGnu is now a GNU package, so it seems "right" to me.
