Howdy:

I found two installation bugs while trying to install the regex-0.10
info pages.  From the makefile:

======================================================================
install: regex.info
	-mkdir $(prefix) $(infodir)
	for i in *.info; do $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(infodir)/$$i; done

regex.info: regex.texinfo
	$(MAKEINFO) $<

regex.texinfo: xregex.texinfo regex.h
	rm -f $@
	gawk -f include.awk -vsource=regex.h <$< | expand >$@
	add-version $(version) regex.texinfo
	add-date regex.texinfo
	chmod a-w $@
======================================================================

Unfortunately:

 1.  The programs (scripts?) add-version and add-date were not
     included with the distribution (are they distributed with
     something else?). They are probably supposed to replace
     the strings "REPLACE-WITH-VERSION" and "REPLACE-WITH-DAY-MONTH-YEAR"
     with the appropriate values.
 2.  The info files "regex.info-{1,2}" do not get installed.  The
     for loop should be "for i in *.info*" instead of "for i in
     *.info".
