Hi, I just committed Gnulib support in HEAD. In the long run, this can be an appreciable portability aid, provided we make good use of the available modules. Currently, the only imported modules are `alloca' and `strcasecmp' (see `m4/gnulib-cache.m4'). Other modules would certainly be useful.
Note that only LGPL modules are imported. Furthermore, the Gnulib folks guarantee that whatever LGPL variant we end up using, they will arrange so that the modules we need are licence-compatible with libguile [0,1]. In practice, one must now run `gnulib-tool --update' before running `autoreconf' (`autogen.sh' was updated to do that). The only file that needs to be kept in the repository is `m4/gnulib-cache.m4' since other files are automatically fetched by `gnulib-tool'. Note that you'll probably need to run "make distclean" before doing anything the first time you update. Let me know of any problems you encounter or any comments that you have. Thanks! Ludovic.
