- Build-from-CVS is broken: we still have to descend into examples/ before
  "make distcheck" works.

- Build and install autobook.txt.

- Check out packages:
  http://www.openbsd.org/3.0_packages/i386/autobook-1.2.tgz-long.html
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports%2F32928
  http://www.gentoo-portage.com/app-doc/autobook
  autobook-1.3-alt1.noarch.rpm  ALTLinux
  PLD-linux.org    autobook-1.3-1.noarch.rpm
  (fedora doesn't seem to ship an autobook RPM, not even in extras/)

  Perhaps there are useful ideas in the packages.
  Perhaps we can convince these people to use the unofficial autobook (most
  seem to be still shipping 1.3 while 1.4 has been released.)

- Use autotools default rules for building .ps, .pdf: remove handcrafted stuff.
  Using autotools for generating html will probably fix next bug:

- fix bugs in html typesetting: fastback button is flaky: e.g. in
  autobook_23.html (5. A minimal GNU Autotools Project), it points forward (to
  same location as fastforward.) reported by Tomas Guemes, Tue, Jul 30, 2002.
  (Related: Investigate wether we really need our forked texi2html.  Is it
  feasable to merge our changes?)

- Find a new maintainer.  I don't feel like keeping on manually incorporating
  changes.

  I've mailed the official authors in 2002-05, when I started hacking.  I've
  mailed Gary Vaughan again 2005-01.

  Between 2004-09 (official autobook-1.4.tar.gz was released 2004-09-12) and
  2005-07, no commits on sources.redhat.com CVS were done.

Rest of this file is TODO as found on sources.redhat.com CVS dd 2004-09.

* Collect configure/make output into .texi files for m4_inclusion
* Write a perl program to convert either the texi, or generated tex
  (perhaps based on texi2html?) to NewRiders markup format
* Make sure the peculiarities of VPATH and srcdir vs. builddir are explored
