Hello a2ps developers.
I see that the a2ps package still uses Automake's 'ansi2knr' option
(in the `src/Makefile.am' and `lib/Makefile.am' files of the git
repository). I want to inform you that that option will be deprecated
in the next minor Automake release (1.11.2), and will be removed
altogether in the next major Automake release (1.12). I think this
is an acceptable move, since we should have finally reached the point
when one doesn't have to worry about non-ANSI C compilers anymore (I
mean, C compilers that understands only K&R C, and not C89).
See this thread on automake's list for more details:

Regards,
Stefano
