   Do you have an environment variable named 'd'?  I like
   minimalism, but this seems a little over-the-top ;-)

I live in Emacs and ‘C-x C-f $ d RET’ is a nice way to get there
quickly.  Attached is ~/.directory-env-vars just so you see how
crazy it is around here.

     +d=; unset d # Avoid unduly interferences from the environment.

Thanks.  I'll keep this technique in mind for future reference.

   Attached is what I've pushed.

Cool.

   [audit] seems like overkill, since such bugs are pretty
   unlikely, involve the testsuite only (not the actual automake
   program), and are and very easy to fix once revealed.  But if
   you feel like wanting to do some auditing yourself anyway,
   please be my guest :-)

If i get a moment, i'll try.

   And you might want to run the 'installcheck' target thereafter
   (yes, now automake has a real 'installcheck' target!)

Yes, will do.
