Hello Alexandre,  :-)

Several patches of mine have not been addressed nor incorporated into
Automake nor rejected for a while.  It would be nice to hear about their
status:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-01/msg00018.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-01/msg00019.html

less important:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-01/msg00011.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-01/msg00008.html

And then there are
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2005-10/msg00009.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2005-09/msg00013.html
which are missing documentation and/or test case, and are presumably ok
otherwise.  I have just posted patches to add the missing bits.

And on top of that I just posted a couple of new ones.  :-)

Cheers,
Ralf
