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@, ..."
