Joel E. Denny 548e2104e2 Update several administrative files mainly to facilitate releasing.
* HACKING (Administrivia): Make the git-merge-changelog notes more
helpful.
(Test suite): Don't say lalr1.cc is not exercised in the test suite.
(Release Procedure): Update for git and add numerous details that were
previously missing.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.cfg and Makefile.maint.
* maint.mk (announcement): Don't list bison as a bootstrap tool so
that announcements don't claim we bootstrapped with whatever bison
happened to be in PATH.  Add flex as a bootstrap tool.
* Makefile.maint: Remove, previously replaced by maint.mk.
* Makefile.cfg: Remove, and migrate settings to...
* cfg.mk: ... here for the sake of `make announcement'.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen.
* README: Say GNU Bison instead of just Bison.  Suggested by Karl
Berry.

This package contains the GNU Bison parser generator.
See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation instructions.
See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for
frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in
PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
run "make pdf" or "make html".
Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later. See:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz
Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it.
Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the
version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
test case in each bug report.
If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
