+
+- Replace bash specific INSTALL with the generic one.
+

+
+- Update lib/ with some files from fetish utils.
+
+- Update other files from libtool-1.3.5 and autoconf-2.13.
+
+- Restore lib/vasprintf.c.

+- Document bash-2.04's $"..." facility and the associated 2 environment
+  variables.
+
+- Document that gettext requires the LC_MESSAGES and LC_CTYPE categories
+  to be set correctly via setlocale.
+
+- Make sure put-ABOUT file and Admin/ directories are not distributed.
+
+- Should gettext.alias be distributed?
+
+- Update documentation for plural features and bind_textdomain_codeset.
