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: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-06/msg00007.html> Regards, Stefano
