Hi Alice,

Very nice, you understood the include guards that were puzzling me.
This looks very nice. I think the only thing that is needed is actually
installing the new manpage with something like:

notrans_dist_man7_MANS = debuginfod-client-config.7

in doc/Makefile.am (probably under the if LIBDEBUGINFOD.

And then double check that man debuginfod-client-config and man
debuginfod_get_url etc. work when everything is installed.

e.g. If you
configure --prefix=/tmp/elfutils-install && make && make install
and then set MANPATH
export MANPATH=/tmp/elfutils-install
that man debuginfod-client-config and man debuginfod_find_debuginfo
product the correct results (show the includes).

Thanks,

Mark
