I'm so glad CVS is gone.  :)

Thanks.

That would be fine with me.

I don't know what the update schedule should be for autoconf and gnulib.  
I suppose we just update whenever we think about it.  I'm also inclined to 
update right before a release to make sure we get the latest fixes, but 
that seems dangerous at the same time.  I suppose it would help if I could 
find time to follow gnulib and autoconf development more closely.
