[annoying archeology] If i can [satisfy curiosity] i'm willing to [...] contribute to gnulib a @(sub-) section of texinfo, so the last question is: Would gnulib accept such a contribution? Another idea is to presume the two-methods status-quo is a mistake and "rebase" one method on the other. For example:
