I'm not sympathetic to this proposal. gnulib supports POSIX platforms
and mingw, and all known POSIX platforms and mingw support '+' in file names.
Eli's point is that he wants support for MSDOS file system. This is outside
the scope of gnulib, and therefore is best solved within Emacs. It can be
done by adding 2 files to the Emacs tree (see attached .tar.gz file) and
by adding the option --local-dir=gnulib-local to the gnulib-tool invocation.
See the gnulib documentation [1] for details.
