I think it would be reasonable to change codingconventions.html to say 
"copied from automake CVS" rather than give a reference to a specific 
automake version, get the patch into automake and then update all the 
listed files from automake CVS.

(symlink-tree and ylwrap - if they actually ever get used in GCC or src -
should probably also be on that list of files from automake.  
move-if-change may come from autoconf.)
