 +Bugs fixed in 1.11a:
  
+ * Long standing bugs:
+ 
+   - On Darwin 9, `pythondir' and `pyexecdir' pointed below `/Library/Python'
+     even if the `--prefix' argument pointed outside of a system directory.
+     AM_PATH_PYTHON has been fixed to ignore the value returned from python's
+     `get_python_lib' function if it points outside the configured prefix,
+     unless the `--prefix' argument was either `/usr' or below `/System'.
+ 
+   - The testsuite does not try to change the mode of `ltmain.sh' files from
+     a Libtool installation (symlinked to test directories) any more.
