Alternatively, maybe `gnulib-tool --import' should say something like "Make sure `lib/config.h' is available, e.g., by adding `AC_CONFIG_LINKS(bla bla)' to your `configure.ac' file."
I vote against adding more such messages. gnulib-tool already produces several times more output than is probably useful. I would vote for moving toward a situation where gnulib-tool optionally just checks if you already did the things it thinks you should do. My rationale is that the big-lost-of-things-to-do works fine for first-time adopters, but for those who routinely run it, there is no sense of incremental change; there's no easy way of noticing that an extra recommendation has appeared. Of course, all this is easier said than done, it's probably quite hard to check that the caller has actually done that stuff. James.
