After including the csharpcomp module in libidn, I realized I don't need any of the C code in that module. I just need csharpcomp.sh.in, csharp.m4 and csharpcomp.m4.
How about installing the following csharpcomp-script module for those files, and patching the csharpcomp module to depend on the former module? Even with this, I can't use this in Libidn. The reason was silly: the "License:" says GPL, but Libidn required LGPL. I have no problem with the script staying GPL, it is only used during compilation, so it won't affect the C# code license (which incidentally is GPL anyway; only the C library is LGPL, that's why I use gnulib-tool --lgpl for libidn). Is there any way to express this license situation? How about changing the License of the csharpcomp-script module to "helper-GPL", and make "helper-GPL" LGPL-compatible, as far as gnulib-tool is concerned? Thanks!
