maint: spelling and whitespace fixes Most of these spelling fixes are just to comments and documentation. However, some affect tests as follows: * t/cond36.sh (tparse.h): Fix misspelling of dependency. * t/disthook.sh: Fix misspelling of file. * t/help3.sh: Fix misspelling of long option. * t/instdir-ltlib.sh: Fix misspellings of macro names. This causes the test to fail, so someone with libtool expertise needs to look into this. * t/tap-no-spurious-numbers.sh (highno): Fix misspelling of shell var.

"Plans" for future or on-going Automake development. The contents is meant to help ensure a more controlled and smooth development and evolution for Automake, in several ways. - Having the plans clearly spelled out should will avoid messy roadmaps with no clear way forward or with muddy or ill-defined aims or purposes; a trap this is too easy to fall into. - Keeping planned changes cooking and re-hashed for a while should ensure rough edges are smoothed up, transitions are planned in a proper way (hopefully avoiding debacles like the AM_MKDIR_PROG_P deprecation and the AM_CONFIG_HEADER too-abrupt removal), and "power users" have more chances of getting informed in due time, thus having all the time to prepare for the changes or raise objections against them. - Having the plans clearly stated and registered in a "centralized" location should make it more difficult to them to slip through the cracks, getting forgotten or (worse) only half-implemented. - Even for discussions and plans registered on the Bug Tracker as well, a corresponding entry in the PLANS directory can help in keeping main ideas summarized, and consensus and/or objections registered and easily compared.
