Yes, it's fixed in 1.4h, but should you really copy mdate-sh into the
appropriate subdir, rather than keep it as it was, in top directory,
and executing as $(top_srcdir)/mdate-sh?  If I have several
subdirectories with texinfo files inside, I'll have several identical
copies of mdate-sh...


Also, automake gives IMHO unnecessary warning: 

        automake: doc/Makefile.am: `version.texi', included in
        `cvsclient.texi', also included in `cvs.texinfo'

So what?  How could it possibly harm anyone?
