Proposed patch below.
--no-recursive seems best: standards.texi mentions --recursive already.
I did not see an intuitive short option for the negation though, and
I don't like `-l|--local' just because the negation is not the default.
I assume the ordering of the option enumeration should still be based
upon the option with `--no-' elided?
Cheers,
Ralf
* bin/autoreconf.in: New option `--no-recursive'.
Improve wording for subpackages a bit.
* doc/autoconf.texi (autoreconf Invocation): Updated.
* NEWS: Updated.
