Agreed.  The list response seems to be faster lately, but I still wish
lists.gnu.org would do the same instant web-archiving given to lists
hosted on sourceware.org (such as gcc or cygwin).

Looks right to me this time, and I think it was okay that you applied it.
 However, do we also need a separate patch to README-alpha stating that
the use of CVS autoconf/automake only works with a checkout newer than
<insert date here>, and also mentioning that stable autoconf 2.59 and
automake 1.9 are supposed to also be usable (albeit potentially slower)?
