Update several administrative files mainly to facilitate releasing.

* HACKING (Administrivia): Make the git-merge-changelog notes more
helpful.
(Test suite): Don't say lalr1.cc is not exercised in the test suite.
(Release Procedure): Update for git and add numerous details that were
previously missing.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.cfg and Makefile.maint.
* maint.mk (announcement): Don't list bison as a bootstrap tool so
that announcements don't claim we bootstrapped with whatever bison
happened to be in PATH.  Add flex as a bootstrap tool.
* Makefile.maint: Remove, previously replaced by maint.mk.
* Makefile.cfg: Remove, and migrate settings to...
* cfg.mk: ... here for the sake of `make announcement'.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen.
* README: Say GNU Bison instead of just Bison.  Suggested by Karl
Berry.

+** Update README
+Make sure the information in this file is current.  Most notably, make sure it
+recommends a version of GNU M4 that is compatible with the latest Bison
+sources.
+
 ** Update NEWS
 The version number, *and* the date of the release (including for
 betas).
 
 ** Update ChangeLog
 Should have an entry similar to `Version 1.49b.'.
-Check all this in once `make distcheck' passes.
+
+** Update configure.ac
+Be sure PACKAGE_COPYRIGHT_YEAR is up-to-date.
+
+** Tag the release
+Before Bison will build with the right version number, you must tag the release
+in git.  Do this after all other changes.  The command is similar to:
+
+  git tag -a v2.3b
+
+The log message can be simply:
+
+  Bison 2.3b
+
+** Push
+Once `make distcheck' passes, push your changes and the tag.
+`git push' without arguments will not push the tag.
 
 ** make alpha
+FIXME: `make alpha' is not maintained and is broken.  These
+instructions need to be replaced or removed.
+
 Running `make alpha' is absolutely perfect for beta releases: it makes
 the tarballs, the xdeltas, and prepares (in /tmp/) a proto
 announcement.  It is so neat, that that's what I use anyway for
 genuine releases, but adjusting things by hand (e.g., the urls in the
 announcement file, the ChangeLog which is not needed etc.).
-FIXME: `make alpha' is not maintained and is broken.  These
-instructions need to be replaced or removed.
 
 If it fails, you're on your own...
 
 It requires GNU Make.
 
 ** Upload
-Put the tarballs/xdeltas where they should be.  Or put it somewhere,
-and send the URL to ftp-upload@gnu.org.
+The generic GNU upload procedure is at:
 
-** Bump the version number
-In configure.ac.  Run `make', check this in.

+After following the instructions there to register your information so you're
+permitted to upload, here's a brief reminder of how to roll the tarballs and
+upload them:
+
+*** make distcheck
+*** gpg -b bison-2.3b.tar.gz
+*** In a file named `bison-2.3b.tar.gz.directive', type:
+
+      version: 1.1
+      directory: bison
+      filename: bison-2.3b.tar.gz
+
+*** gpg --clearsign bison-2.3b.tar.gz.directive
+*** ftp ftp-upload.gnu.org # Log in as anonymous.
+*** cd /incoming/alpha # cd /incoming/ftp for full release.
+*** put bison-2.3b.tar.gz # This can take a while.
+*** put bison-2.3b.tar.gz.sig
+*** put bison-2.3b.tar.gz.directive.asc
+*** Repeat all these steps for bison-2.3b.tar.bz2.
 
 ** Announce
+To generate a template announcement file:
+
+  make RELEASE_TYPE=alpha gpg_key_ID=F125BDF3 announcement
+
+where alpha can be replaced by beta or major and F125BDF3 should be replaced
+with your key ID.  For an example of how to fill out the template, search the
+mailing list archives for the most recent release announcement.
