This piques my curiosity a bit. I subscribed to autoconf before I
subscribed to automake; but when I subscribed to the latter, the brief
description was that it's "for discussion of Automake, Autoconf, and
other configuration/portability tools" (which made me wonder, why bother
with a separate mailing list for autoconf, then?).

The description is from <http://sources.redhat.com/automake/>. Is it
incorrect? I'm guessing that the intention might have been closer to
"interoperation between automake, autoconf and other...", but....
