I agree. Remember that gnulib-tool offers two mechanisms that are useful for maintainers who want to modify the recommended gnulib code setup: --avoid to skip the stdio module, and --override to apply a local patch to the code. But using gnulib properly is more reliable, and will likely save you work in the long run. /Simon
