FYI,
The new bootstrap script will end with:
...
gnulib_tool=$GNULIB_SRCDIR/gnulib-tool
<$gnulib_tool || exit
# Tell gnulib to:
# require LGPLv2+
# put *.m4 files in new gnulib/m4/ dir
# put *.[ch] files in new gnulib/lib/ dir.
$gnulib_tool \
--lgpl=2 \
--m4-base=gnulib/m4 \
--source-base=gnulib/lib \
--import physmem getaddrinfo
rm -f \
.gitignore \
gnulib/lib/.gitignore \
gnulib/m4/.gitignore \
gnulib/tests/.gitignore
(cd gnulib/lib &&
(cat .cvsignore; \
ls -1 *.in.h|sed 's/\.in\.h/.h/') | sort -u > .t; mv .t .cvsignore)
