Hallo Ralf,

attached are five patches (the diffs are actually against the result of
applying your patch for PR 516 from 2008-01-22):

1. patch-02-notrans_MANS-reindent:

Reindentation of a section in automake.in, anticipating an additional
foreach loop (it was less work to do this first).

2. patch-03-notrans_MANS-impl:

The actual implementation of `notrans_'. The patch looks awful but the
logic in the resulting patched file should be reasonably clear.

At the same time the dependencies for `install-man%SECTION%' have been
revised. All make variables not used in Makefile.am are omitted from the
install/uninstall rules. All those used in the rules also appear as
dependencies.

One consequence: "make dist_man_MANS='bar.1 baz.5' install-man" will only
work well if `dist_man_MANS' is used in Makefile.am and Automake has
generated the relevant (!notrans_) part of the install-man1 and
install-man5 rules. So ... ?

3. patch-04-notrans_MANS-doc:

Texinfo documentation for the notrans_ prefix.

4. patch-05-notrans_MANS-test:

Two new test cases for missing dependencies and the notrans_ prefix.

5. automake-1.10.1-ChangeLog:

Proposed ChangeLog entry.

==============

Please feel free to revise the wording in texinfo, comments, and/or
ChangeLog.
