FYI

[Jim Meyering]

I've pushed a few small changes:

    configure.ac: remove explicit use of AB_INIT
    * configure.ac: Don't invoke AB_INIT directly, now that it's
    done automatically via gl_INIT.

    tests: ignore known failure on all Darwin 8.x / Mac OS X v10.4.x
    * tests/chgrp/basic: Update comment and host_triplet version test.

    tests: avoid failure with older version of Perl's File::Temp
    * tests/CuTmpdir.pm (import): Use &File::Temp::cleanup only
    if it is defined.  Reported by Bruno Haible in
    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/13652
