Hello Enscript developers.
I see that Enscript currently uses Automake's 'ansi2knr' option, at
least in the `Makefile.am' and `afmlib/Makefile.am' files in its
official 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
P.S. Please keep me in CC: because I'm not subscribed to the list.
Thanks.
