+ package-version: Simplify its use.
+ Reported by Basil L. Contovounesios <basil@contovou.net> in
+ <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2025-01/msg00195.html>.
+ * doc/package-version.texi (Propagating the package version): Recommend
+ to pass the usual arguments to AC_INIT.
+ * m4/init-package-version.m4: Likewise.
+ (gl_INIT_PACKAGE): Define PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING as needed.
+ (gl_RPL_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Improve quoting.
+

tests: Fix a few compilation errors on Solaris 11 OmniOS with gcc 14.
