+       * tests/tools.at (autom4te preselections): New test, to flag
+       entries missing from autom4te.cfg.
+       Report by David Byron <dbyron@hheld.com>.
+
        * tests/torture.at (Substitute a 2000-byte string): Actually use
        AC_PROG_AWK, so the last change works as intended.
        (Substitute and define special characters): Likewise.
