New Revision: 307

Log:
* TODO (General): Don't describe that /po subdirs should be
automatically cvs added; add more specific definition of what
files should be cvs added.  Add an entry for a future `check'
target.
(Non-Essential): Add an entry for a future `report' and
`full-report' targets.  Add an entry for possible automatic
generation of meaningful CVS log entries.
