+       Update several administrative files mainly to facilitate releasing.
+       * HACKING (Administrivia): Make the git-merge-changelog notes more
+       helpful.
+       (Test suite): Don't say lalr1.cc is not exercised in the test suite.
+       (Release Procedure): Update for git and add numerous details that were
+       previously missing.
+       * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.cfg and Makefile.maint.
+       * maint.mk (announcement): Don't list bison as a bootstrap tool so
+       that announcements don't claim we bootstrapped with whatever bison
+       happened to be in PATH.  Add flex as a bootstrap tool.
+       * Makefile.maint: Remove, previously replaced by maint.mk.
+       * Makefile.cfg: Remove, and migrate settings to...
+       * cfg.mk: ... here for the sake of `make announcement'.
+       * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen.
+       * README: Say GNU Bison instead of just Bison.  Suggested by Karl
+       Berry.
