Yes it is; fixed now.  Thanks for spotting it!

And since we are out to hunt typos, all the new amhello tests have the
same error in the heading descriptions, using: 
  "Document an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:"
where this should be used instead:
  "Test an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:"
Consider these fixed too.

Thanks,
  Stefano
