+
+       Fix complaints about escape sequences.
+       Discussed starting at
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-08/msg00036.html>.
+       * src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_STRING, SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER):
+       For a \0 and similar escape sequences meaning the null
+       character, report an invalid escape sequence instead of an
+       invalid null character because the latter does not actually
+       appear in the user's input.
+       In all escape sequence complaints, don't escape the initial
+       backslash, and don't quote when the sequence appears at the end
+       of the complaint line unless there's whitespace that quotearg
+       won't escape.
+       Consistently say "invalid" not "unrecognized".
+       * tests/input.at (Bad escapes in literals): New.

+       doc: %initial-action to initialize yylloc.

+       (Location Type): Document the use of %initial-action to initialize
+       yylloc.

+
+       maint: update for gnulib's recent update-copyright changes
+       * gnulib: Update.
+       * .x-update-copyright (COPYING): Add as it's no longer implied
+       when .x-update-copyright is present.
+       * cfg.mk (update-copyright-local): Remove, now ignored.
+       (update-copyright): Declare update-b4-copyright as a dependency.

+
+       build: lower gettext requirements.
+
+       Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from
+       gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems
+       that perfectly supported Bison mo files.  Lower the requirement.
+       http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html
+
+        * configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of
+        need-formatstring-macros.
+        Reported by Martin Jabocs.
+        Suggested by Bruno Haible.
+        * INSTALL: Restructure.
+        (Internationalization): New.
