I'm also intending to replace the configure and makefile structure
with automake source files. Whether this is done at the same time as
the ANSI fixes or at a later stage I'm not yet sure. 5. falls under
ANSI. The --help is a wonderful observation which I will try to
rectify at the same time. Items like this are most helpfully logged at
the website so they are not forgotten.
The chief difficulty I face is in prioritizing the work remaining into
manageable chunks that will fit into the small bursts of time that
become available.
Take care,
