Using config.h inside the library source code is useful. IMHO, the best would be if we could get rid of config.h and '#if HAVE_*' pollution, so that all source code is written in plain C99 and POSIX, and then fix whatever broken systems there are out there by way of a "behind the back" gnulib approach. It is so nice to be able to do "cc -o foo *.c" and have things work with a minimum of fuss. This is also almost required in order to be able to use various source code security analysis tools, or even things like Cyclone.
