PS: Alternatively to the suggestion of a new gnulib-tool option "--vc-files=...", one could also make Gnulib's behavior dependent on the presence of a file, say ".gnulib-in-tree-build". This has the advantage that no source files have to be changed to switch from one behavior to the other but that, in principle, a developer can decide to switch to in-tree builds by touching such a file locally.
