Ah.. in that case I misunderstood your saying "please promote using
autoreconf for bootstrapping": I thought you wanted to replace the
bootstrap script with a call to autoreconf. I was saying that we
can't do that.. As you apparently didn't mean to say that we should,
I guess we agree :)

NB: would the README problem be solved if we add README to
``$configure_dist_common'' and remove it from address@hidden''
or would that mess up the usenet shars? (I don't think so, but I
haven't tested it). It'd have to be removed from
&check_gnu_standards as well, but as it would be a distri target,
dist build would fail with "No rule to make target README" if
there is no README there.
Alternatively, the Makefile.am would have to be scanned for a
target README, and README would be required if not a target.
There's already the $RULEPATTERN regex that could be used to scan
the Makefile.am file in the package root directory..

Precisely. That's why I still don't understand your argument. I have
this:
| ~/src/a2ps-4.13 % cat bootstrap
| #! /bin/sh
| set -e
| contrib_scripts="card fixps pdiff psmandup psset"
|
| echo "Bootstrapping a2ps..."
|
| # These are created by the Makefile, which is missing for the time
| # being. They are needed by configure.
| for i in $contrib_scripts
| do
| touch contrib/$i.in
| done
|
| # Autoconf, Automake, Gettext.
| autoreconf --force --install --verbose
|
| # Configure and make the missing guys.
| ./configure
|
| # Configure was using card.in etc. But they were probably fake ones.
| # Remove them, and let make do the rest.
| (
| cd contrib
| for i in $contrib_scripts
| do
| rm -f $i $i.in
| done
| make
| )
| make
