+ --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-debug-malloc --with-threads.
+ Make sure that readline was enabled correctly.
+ Build the tree.
(If the above steps are not done, the dependencies won't be properly
included in the generated Makefile.in files.)

+ + Check that the dependencies in guile-readline/Makefile look OK.

* Give the test disty to various people to try. Here's what you should do:
+ Unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH.
+ Remove automake and autoconf from your path, or turn off their
version numbers of the form "N.M.L", where L is odd.
* Start a new section of the NEWS file.
* Start a new THANKS file.
