Pushed as obvious. * bootstrap (func_require_buildreq_autobuild) (func_require_buildreq_automake): Vi's delete word command is too greedy and also eats trailing whitespace before following non-word-chars. Put back the spaces it ate so that syntax-checks pass once again. Signed-off-by: Gary V

Hi Gary, will texinfo render badly spaced dvi (or other) if we use single spaces after a period, or even if we are inconsistent throughout an input document? DVI isn't the problem (TeX always does the right thing). Info is the problem. Makeinfo does cheap text refilling. So
