Sorry, I meant integrated in a manner such that the gnulib bits are built non-recursively. While you can of course use a recursive make to build gnulib, you still tend to be left with the usual problems that plague recursive builds: specifically that dependencies between the subtrees using separate makefiles tend to be incomplete, resulting in reduced concurrency and/or incorrect builds. A recursively-built gnulib is no exception here. -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/)
