Unless I hear an objection in the next few hours, I'll go ahead and mark
automake-devel as 'current'. However, there are still a few issues with
this libtool release, so that'll stay 'test' until I can upload a fixed
version.

Been having a few problems with the libtool mailing list: first
mail.gnu.org was down all weekend, and now it appears to be up -- but no
messages are being archived. I've mentioned the problem to Gary Vaughan
(libtool maintainer) but no response on that issue yet. Is there a
"central" gnu mailing list / mail archive place (not webmaster@) at
gnu.org to report these sorts of bugs to? "Hey, mail.gnu.org is messed
up -- it's not archiving libtool@, libtool-patches@, ..."
