change othersize to otherwise. I believe this is what was meant in the context.

autoconf(9) - Improve formatting.

Don't hide consumed cfargs in the second sentence of a function's
description, they ends up hidden towards the right margin and that
sentence is guaranteed to get a line break further reducing its
readability. Instead make that the first sentence and start the
description with a new paragraph. That makes it looks like part of
the signature and is much more prominent.

Various markup improvements while here.

Bump date for thorpej-cfargs2 changes.

Bump date for previous.


# 1.19 07-Oct-2006 cube

Synchronise documentation with code. E.g., config_search is no more, but
instead you have config_search_{loc,ia}. Add documentation for
config_finalize_regsiter, too. Mostly fixes PR#32106 by Gavan Fantom, as I
think the cfdriver_* and cfattach_* stuff should be documented too, but I'm
not entirely sure where yet.

"Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".
