 RW> Paul's install-sh race condition fix:

This looks fine to me, you really shouldn't have waited after me.

 RW> Noah's autom4te locking fix:
 RW> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-04/msg00058.html 

Answered separately.

 RW> Stepan's fix to have find_file recognize `-' (for stdin):
 RW> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2006-04/msg00015.html

autom4te cannot read its stdin even with the currently supported
syntax (no argument).  I remember Stepan agreed to wait until we
know for sure if autom4te can work with its stdin before we add
syntactic sugar for this feature.

 RW> install-sh/mkinstalldirs IFS fix:
