Hi automake developers,

1) defect
Bootstrap of quite recent release of one project automake 1.13 produce following warning:
...
#configure.ac:27: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see: #configure.ac:27: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE-invocation
...

Hyperlink "Modernize-AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE-invocation" does not exist in current page. As result I can not include proper automake reference in bug report to package authors.

It seems to me closed to topic is link '#Public-Macros' in current (2013-01-21) manual.

Please correct URL in warning message.


2) enhancement
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE paragraph ends with following :
....
By default this macro AC_DEFINE's PACKAGE and VERSION. This can be avoided by passing the no-define option:

          AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnits 1.5 no-define dist-bzip2])
---
Probably correct suggestion is just AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.5 no-define]) and for details to refer again to macro options directly to chapter "17.2 List of Automake options". Manual must not suggest gnits and dist-bzip2 as project distribution policy could be less restrictive (foreign) or authors may prefer dist-xz or dist-gzip.
