GNU AutoGen Version 5.8.9/AutoOpts Version 27.6

GNU AutoGen/AutoOpts is a two-part project that serves two separate
purposes.  The two parts are combined because they are inextricably
intertwined:

AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of
programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.  It is
especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that
must be kept synchronized.

AutoOpts is both an example of that and a project in its own right.
It is a very powerful command line and configuration file option parser
consisting of a set of AutoGen templates and a run time library that
substantially reduce the hassle of managing, parsing and documenting
program options.

New in 5.8.9 - January, 2007

Here are the 'NEWS' entries since the last release

* GREP is now a configurable.  (Sheesh!)
* options with hierarchical structure (nested values) had some
  bugs in the config file parsing code.  Fixed.
* Since YACC is not used any more, it is no longer required. :)
