Re: [Genparse-users] Automatically breaking lines on the Genparse help screen

[<li...@mi...>]

Mike,

I'm presently trying Genparse on the GNU Coreutils. They have strict tests
and I'm having trouble to pass "make distcheck" if the time stamp alwas 
changes. But I agree that the full header as Genparse generates it now is 
useful and for this reason the default will be to create it the same way as 
it was before.
