For purposes of gv being in other distributions, like teTeX or TeX Live, I suggest using AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.

Otherwise, experience has shown that a lot of time gets wasted because of timestamps not being updated properly when the sources are checked in to a different repository and then checked out again. It "should" all work, but it doesn't.

This was a constant problem with Texinfo, for example, until I started using AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.

The only real implication is that people using the CVS hierarchy need to configure --enable-maintainer-mode.

Thanks.
