[Abcde-users] abcde bug fixes and enhancements available

[Bodnar, Jason]

Ran into problems with the Makefile:

$ sudo make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 abcde cddb-tool abcde-musicbrainz-tool
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 /etc
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 abcde.conf /etc
/usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 /usr/local/share/doc/abcde-2.10.1-DEV1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 changelog COPYING FAQ README
/usr/local/share/doc/abcde-2.10.1-DEV1
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'COPYING': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'FAQ': No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:23: install] Error 1

If I create an empty COPYING and FAQ it works so I guess the repo either
needs them or the Makefile should not try to copy them.
