| Hi Akim,

Hi Ed,

Please, keep all this public, as I have some other people willing to
participate.

| I think I managed to update the files after updating 
| all of the packages...

Great!  I try to release Autoconf soon, and henceforth, a2ps will use
only released tools.

| Here is what I get however:
| 
| (update command)
| % cvs address@hidden:/cvsroot/a2ps co a2ps
| (bootstrap)
| % ./bootstrap 
| Bootstrapping a2ps...

Hm...  I wonder why you have this problem.  I thought AC_C_BACKSLASH_A
*was* is 2.53b.  So maybe I am wrong.  I'll roll up a newer Autoconf
tarball soon, and I'll let you know.


| Note: I did NOT heed the following advice in the
| libtool README file:
| 
| IMPORTANT:
| ==========
| 
| ** Until the next release of automake, you should apply 
| the patch at **
| ** the end of this file to your installed automake 
| script if you     **
| ** intend to use it in conjunction with this release of 
| libtool.     **
| 
| 
| I suspect that it has outdated information.

I suppose it is.  I don't know if Libtool is maintained :(
