* When documenting a non-trivial idiom or example in the manual, be
sure to add a test case for it, and to reference such test case from
a proper Texinfo comment.
* Some files in the automake package are not owned by automake; these
files are listed in the $(FETCHFILES) variable in Makefile.am. They

* Use '$PATH_SEPARATOR', not hard-coded ':', as the separator of

* It's more important to make sure that a feature works, than make
sure that Automake's output looks correct. It might look correct
and still fail to work. In other words, prefer running 'make' over
