noinst_TEXINFOS is what I would have tried.  I don't have any other suggestions.

Thanks.  For now, I've checked this in.

I don't know a way to do that with Automake.  It could be approximated by using noinst_TEXINFOS, but noinst_TEXINFOS doesn't work in Automake 1.10 (or presumably earlier versions).  I've reported this bug to bug-automake just now.

I can think of a couple of other ways to do this, but none of them really make me happy.  Do you have a suggestion?

I think it's a good idea to put such information into CVS, and perhaps into the released tarball, even if it's not complete.  However I think that developer information, whether complete or not, shouldn't get installed by default.  It should have a seperate install target, eg: make install-dev-info

I hadn't even tried formatting it as DVI or PDF.  Thanks, I fixed this and some other damage besides (e.g. the title pages looked bad).

OK, good idea.  I moved most of the files in the developer manual to doc/dev.  I left pspp-dev.texi in doc, because this allows links between the two manuals to function before the manuals are installed (otherwise, Info readers only look in the same directory).

Here's an updated patch.  Any further comments?  Do you like the idea of making this part of the release, even if it is not significantly expanded?

Those are fragments of writing that I didn't finish.  Removed.

1. In the dvi version, the references to the user manual sections don't seem to get resolved properly.

2. It might be a good idea to put the developer manual sections in  a seperate directory.

3. There seems to be some damage here:

Here is the start of a developer's guide for PSPP.  I have been sitting on it for months, hoping that I would find time to finish it up.  But it's become apparent that that is not going to happen before the release of 0.6.0.  So I'd like to check in what's here.

The manual includes a significant amount of advice and rationale.  If you disagree with it, please say so.

The change set also includes a number of cleanups that I discovered should be done while I was writing the manual.  Please, say so if you do not like any of these.
