Hi Bruno, I'd rather defer this sort of change, since it introduces a hard dependency on gnulib-tool, with only marginal added value. With this sort of change, a project that uses this module without going through gnulib-tool will not work properly. If/once we all agree that it's ok to strongly discourage (preferably via automated checks) the use of gnulib without gnulib-tool, then I'd have no objection whatsoever to this sort of change.
