Hi libtoolers,

I realize I mixed theoretically independent changes to libtool.texi
here, but they're all related and should be non-controversial.  If
there's a real issue I can separate.

It is important to use @copying, as has been publicized since 2002 or so :).
The other changes are conventional rather than critical, but still,
consistency is nice.

Thanks,
k

	* libtool.texi (@copying): Use this instead of @ifnottex;
	format for Texinfo; eliminate obsolete paragraph about TeX;
	use @insertcopying instead of duplicating text.
	(@syncodeindex): Move all to the Texinfo header, where they belong.
	(@dircategory): Use "Software development"
	instead of "GNU programming tools", for consistency;
	and align individual entries to avoid multiple lines;
	and move to after the copyright message.
