 %%short-description: GNU portability library
 
-%%full-description: The 'gnulib' project, still in the planning stage,
-will be a collection of various files that GNU projects can use to
-achieve cross platform portability. Its components are intended to be
-shared at the source level, rather than being a library that gets
-installed and linked against; the idea is to copy files from 'gnulib'
-into your own source tree.
-
-The projct was conceived when we realized that many users and
-developers were introduced to GNU software through the systems that
-they were already using, but that there was no central place for all
-of the special GNU versions to exist. The 'gnulib' project will be
-that central repository. If you would like to contribute to the
-project, please contact any of the maintainers listed below.
+%%full-description:
+Gnulib is intended to be the canonical source for most of the important
+"portability" and/or common files for GNU projects.  These are files
+intended to be shared at the source level; Gnulib is not a library meant
+to be installed and linked against.  Unlike most projects, Gnulib does
+not normally generate a source tarball distribution; instead, developers
+should just grab modules directly from the repository.
+
+While portability across operating systems is not one of GNU's primary
+goals, it has helped introduce many people to the GNU system, and is
+worthwhile when it can be achieved at a low cost.  This collection helps
+lower that cost.

fix stdlib.h for C++

[Bruno Haible]

This is needed because 'template' is a keyword in C++.

when used in C++ mode.

fix compilation errors due to 'restrict'

[Bruno Haible]

Some modules were using 'restrict' in a declaration in string.h without
ensuring it's properly defined.

* stpcpy.m4 (gl_FUNC_STPCPY): Require AC_C_RESTRICT.
* stpncpy.m4 (gl_FUNC_STPNCPY): Likewise.
* strsep.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRSEP): Likewise.
* strtok_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRTOK_R): Likewise.
(gl_PREREQ_STRTOK_R): Don't require it here.
