1.8.3: --force-missing installs old files

[Karl Berry]

I had the current versions of everything from gnulib
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib), and ran automake --add-missing
--force-missing.  This actually installed older versions into my working
directory.  In my case, of depcomp, config.{guess,sub}, and texinfo.tex.

For instance, the config.guess I had before:
timestamp='2004-03-12'
And the one Automake installed:
timestamp='2004-03-03'


Also, automake overwrote my INSTALL file, even though my INSTALL file is
not the generic installation instructions.  I keep those in
INSTALL.generic, and put something that people might actually read
(special cases for Texinfo) into INSTALL.  Perhaps search for
  These are generic installation instructions.
and don't update if it's not there?


Thanks,
