(Character sets): Don't say that an unknown
backslash-escape causes an error message -- it doesn't.
Mention that `\' also removes any special significance, so
is useful for [, ], *, -. Prompted by Richard Neill in

rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
(close_preserve_errno): New function.
(fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
(remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.

(CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.

go away? was that an accident?)

Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
buffers.
(sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
violation of its own syntax rules.
(sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
(po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
resulting duplicates.

(local-checks-available): Define in terms of
the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
(tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.

(usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the --no-preserve-root option
string from its description, so help2man formats the derived man page properly.

(copy_internal): cp -RL no longer fails when encountering
the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
