   How did you do that? I'm not a make wizard and it took me more than
   15 minutes to figure out for instance that Makeconf wasn't a
   makefile on it's own...

I mean that, having figured it out myself (which took a while), it
only takes about 15 minutes to change the makefiles for a new release.

   Nice!

It turns out my promise isn't worth much.  I got sidetracked and
didn't get it there (and the Hurd tar I put there that day got deleted
by some unknown person).  I'll do it *today*, I promise.  ;-)

   I would like to know why, but I don't know Roland's e-mail address.
   Maybe it's of interest to more people?

I don't know if it is or not.  His address is `roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu';
ask him to post an explanation to gnu.misc.discuss so he doesn't have
to repeat it so many times.

   Is there a specification of those coding standards? If so, where
   can I get it?

Write gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
