Re: Autoconf fails to install without help2man

I don't think your patch is right: you are hiding a problem.  I think
`missing' should not exit 0 when it doesn't know what to do, but
I suppose this is debatable.

IMHO the right patch is to teach `help2man' to `missing'.  It does
need to know a lot about it, the most important being --output.  Then
missing shall just `touch' the output file.

If you want to give it a try, you probably should do that with the
`missing' which is in CVS Automake.  Autoconf will import it then.
