commit e7c7a4735fcc714ac9607fa680c72cbe6fd868bc
Author: Ralf Wildenhues <address@hidden>
Date:   Sun Apr 19 01:12:43 2009 +0200

    Improve and clarify `config.status' usage documentation.
    
    * doc/autoconf.texi (config.status Invocation): Fix markup in
    synopsis.  Use `tag' instead of `file' notation for the
    non-option arguments, to be consistent with the documentation
    of the AC_CONFIG_* macros.
    * lib/autoconf/status.m4 (_AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS): Likewise,
    use `tag' notation for non-option arguments.
    Report by John Calcote.
