make-stds.texi minor update


From: Ralf Wildenhues
Subject: make-stds.texi minor update
Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 18:06:39 +0200
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.11

The Makefile.maint (that is more or less) shared between coreutils,
CPPI, Bison, and Autoconf, has a check to prefer the spelling of
`file system' over `filesystem'.  Automake ships `make-stds.texi'.
I assume some consensus over this rule has been established?

OK to commit this trivial patch to fix the writing, so we can import
this back into Autoconf?

Cheers,
Ralf
