Severity: wishlist

This node (info "(emacs) Program Modes") mentions makefiles twice:

     Emacs has programming language modes for Lisp, Scheme, the
  Scheme-based DSSSL expression language, Ada, ASM, AWK, C, C++, Fortran,
  Icon, IDL (CORBA), IDLWAVE, Java, Javascript, M4, Makefiles, Metafont
                                                    ^^^^^^^^^
  (TeX’s companion for font creation), Modula2, Object Pascal,
  Objective-C, Octave, Pascal, Perl, Pike, PostScript, Prolog, Python,
  Ruby, Simula, SQL, Tcl, Verilog, and VHDL.  An alternative mode for Perl
  is called CPerl mode.  Modes are also available for the scripting
  languages of the common GNU and Unix shells, and MS-DOS/MS-Windows ‘BAT’
  files, and for makefiles, DNS master files, and various sorts of
                 ^^^^^^^^^
  configuration files.

Is it redundant to mention it twice in the same paragraph?

(BTW, I also note a difference in capitalization, but I don't know which
is preferred.)

Yes, the second one should be deleted.  Thanks.

The first one.  The second one is most probably a historical accident.
