* A few tweaks to the system glob test, after trying it on a system where
it's true.
* Installed patches to archive handling for AIX 4.3 big archives.
* Fix a memory stomp in target-specific variables.
* Fix a memory leak in foreach functions.
* Check for a libc version of GNU glob and, if found, don't use the local
glob headers.
* Fix a bug in OpenVMS archive handling.
* Fix a bug in VMS siglist processing.
* texinfo.tex (\dosubind): Include index entry in third arg to
\entry instead of writing as bogus fourth arg.
Report from: kama@hippo.fido.de (Karl Heinz Marbaise).
* texinfo.tex (\setemergencystretch): Increase somewhat.
* texinfo.tex (\putwordof): rename from \putwordOf.
* texinfo.tex (defivarhead, \defcvarheader): Use \putwordof.

The general idea is to construct a list a all defined macros in
the form \do\macro1\do\macro2..., then temporarily define
\do to something appropriate and execute the list to do
whatever is needed. Here is a patch, and i have also
fixed a few other bugs that i found while browsing through
the @macro implementation. Additionally i have added a
check to prevent the user from doing silly things like
@macro shipout.
immediately if it is nonvoid, instead of saving it. This avoids a
bug where the index could end up printing one line per page (see
the indexspread.tex test).
From: Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
* texinfo.tex (\image): If running pdftex, do \pdfimage{imagefile.pdf}.
From: Samuel Tardieu <sam@inf.enst.fr>
Also, update copyright year.
(\setuptable): Always pass whole-number part and decimal point. This
allows leading zeroes.
Suggestion from: Ben Bullock <ben@hayamasa.demon.co.uk>.

* doc/texinfo.tex (\onepageout): Put the cropmarks in vboxes of
zero height so that they don't contribute space themselves.
Compensate for \topandbottommargin.
(\internalpagesizes): Advance \outervsize by 2\topandbottommargin,
not only 0.6in.
unless we are in vertical mode. Otherwise we might end a
paragraph prematurely, and \folio won't get expanded by
\output.
Report from: "Richard E. Stone" <res@rstone.mn.org>
* texinfo.tex (chapterzzz): Put a space before the chapter number
in the message.
(appendixzzz): Use \putwordAppendix in the message.

* texinfo.tex (\macro): Globalize assignments since it's done
inside a group. From Zack.
Mon Jul 6 17:21:25 1998 Karl Berry <karl@cs.umb.edu>
* texinfo.tex (\comment): Speed up.
(\loggingall): Turn on eTeX's extended tracing.
More macro fixes.

From: Zack Weinberg <zack@rabi.phys.columbia.edu>
(\xrefX): Avoid double space when xref to an @anchor or an @unnumbered.
* texinfo.tex (\itemzzz): Use kerns and \unhbox when item text
fits in the space, so footnotes can work.
(\chapternofonts): No longer needed.
(\chapter, ..., \unnumberedsubsubsec): Change all the sectioning
commands to call \writetocentry instead of doing it inline.
Also, do not call \chapternofonts, we avoid expansion with
\the\toks instead.
(\opencontents): No longer needed, instead \writetocentry opens
the file when necessary.
(\setfilename): Don't call \opencontents.
(\ifsetcontentsaftertitlepage, \ifsetshortcontentsaftertitlepage):
New conditionals.
(\Etitlepage): Call \contents and/or \shortcontents if
conditionals are set.
Global: use \nobreak instead of \penalty 10000 for epsilon efficiency.
and balancing.
The old code failed miserably when the index was just the wrong size,
e.g., the Autoconf manual with @afourpaper.
Bug report from: Wilhelm Mueller <muewi@hb.senbvs43.uni-bremen.de>

(\initial): Add more glue around the initial, and make it a
multiple of \baselineskip.
(\entry): Add glue before each entry so the columns can always be the
same height.
(\doublecolumnout): Available space no longer needs to handle
\partialpage specially.
(\pagesofar): Take \ht\partialpage into account with \vsize.
(\enddoublecolumns): Reset \output to avoid calling
\balancecolumns twice
(\balancecolumns): Format for readability.
(\initialskipamount): No longer needed, remove.
(\hbadness): Increase a bit, boxes that are a little underfull look ok.

- @ifblah did not work inside @macro
- spaces in parameter lists in macro definitions caused errors
- leading spaces in parameter lists in macro invocations were
preserved inappropriately.
