-- Marc Espie's wishlist:
-  Makefile.in.in that ships with the most recent release
-  of gettext suffers from various defects:
-  - it does not work with separate compilation, as it creates files 
-    in $(srcdir) and not in $(buildir). Reading this file, somebody must
-    be confused about what's maintainer-dependent, and what's build-dependent.
-  - it has needless dependencies on gnu-makes, which are trivial to fix.
-  - it has bogus file readability tests, which should be executability tests.
+- Merge clisp specific changes.
 
 - Make sure Admin/ directory is not distributed.
