Hi, some quick comments:

1. Something is broken in the 2.2.5 `.d' archive.  The file
`version.texi' in 2.2.5 tries to @include itself, causing texi2dvi
to crash and burn.  Compared with the 2.2.4 archive, it looks like
version.texi was overwritten with the contents of indent.texinfo.

2. could you distribute formatted man pages in `cat/cat1' instead
of unformatted pages in `man/man1'?  Then users don't have to have
groff (or similar), which is itself a rather large package, to
view them.



% head 2.2.5/version.texi
\input texinfo   @c -*-texinfo-*-
@c %**start of header
@setfilename indent.info
@settitle @command{indent}:  Indent and Format C Program Source
@include version.texi
@c %**end of header

Comparison of 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 `.d' archives:
