07fb756c7d * doc/autoconf.texi (Special Shell Variables): Mention POSIX
1003.1-2001's requirements for CDPATH.  Give a simpler workaround
for the CDPATH problem.  Document PWD.
(Limitations of Builtins): Document the problem that "cd $foo" and
"ls $foo" may refer to different directories in shells conforming
to POSIX 1003.1-2001.  Use PS1 rather than CDPATH for "unset"
example, since the old example is now out of date.

6d8c182dfb Follow the outline suggested in the GNU Sample Texts sections of the
Texinfo 4.2 manual.  Most importantly, this makes sure that the
copyright notices appear in all output formats.  You probably need
Texinfo 4.2 to generate the manual now.
