pending patches

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Salut Alexandre, all,

For your convenience, I have compiled a list of pending patches against
Automake again, very roughly in what I regard decreasing priority, and
without guarantee of completeness (I've tried):

support cross multilibs (Geoffrey Keating):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-09/msg00027.html

Gettext 1.15.1 support: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR (Bruno Haible):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00010.html
(with an additional
  sed "s|# po/ is required, but intl/ isn't.|# intl/ is required.|"
applied to tests/gettext3.test, as per Bruno's comment).

install-sh fix for FreeBSD mkdir (Paul Eggert):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-10/msg00008.html

Another LIBOBJDIR fix:

ensuring that Autoconf's autom4te.cfg is complete for Automake:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-09/msg00022.html

PR 492 (asm + subdir-objects):

The thread is cut apart, the other half is here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.patches/2565

OK to apply them all?  ;-)

Cheers,
Ralf
