That is fine.  There are lots of common practices that are not written anywhere, so you post and we tell you.  After a
short while you'll know them all and will be your turn to tell others...

Better yet:

Fri Mar 24 12:10:38 2000  glen mccready  <gkm@pobox.com>

        * command.c (help_all): New function. Add functionality
        to display a complete listing of available commands.
	* command.h: Add declaration for the above.


If nobody objects by the end of the afternoon, please check it in.

*Please* don't add the node links back!!  I went to some trouble to get
rid of them all, because they make for an utter nightmare when you're
trying to add new material.  They're only useful if you want to link
nodes in some fashion other than that implied by the chapter/section
structure, and as of yet I haven't heard anyone come up with a good
rationale for linking in any other way.

The replication of the TOC node with ifinfo and ifhtml is sufficient
to make the manual generate correctly with three versions of texinfo,
so I'm mystified as to why you think these other changes are necessary...

Sure it is.  

Just a question: is this being assigned and can be distributed under the GPL?

If Stan agrees, I would like to incorporate it (IP issues sorted, of course).

Let me know if I need to do the copyright assignment thing on this
simple tool ... in the mean time I will try to get one ready (but takes
some time)

I don't understand what problem did you try to solve by this change.  
What did you add to command.h? a prototype? a #define?  Then all you need 
to say is this:

	* command.h (help_all): Add a prototype.
