+       mktime: merge comment-quoting-style change from gnulib
+       * time/mktime.c: Quote 'like this' in comments.
+       The GNU coding standards suggest that we no longer quote `like this',
+       as "`" and "'" are typically rendered asymmetrically nowadays.
+       The typical gnulib style is to quote 'like this' when quoting
+       code, and "like this" when quoting English.
+
        * time/mktime.c (compile-command): Add "-I.".
