Thanks for the suggestion; I installed the attached.

I don't see a nontrivial way to update nt/gnulib-cfg.mk automatically, 
even just for module renames as Eli suggested, as there are too many 
possibilities for screwups.

The "right" way to fix this would be to adjust Emacs and Gnulib so that 
builds would work the same way on MS-Windows that they do everywhere 
else (i.e., nt/gnulib-cfg.mk would become unnecessary). However, as I 
understand it this would be nontrivial and anyway it would require 
MS-Windows expertise that I lack.

In the meantime, module renames are rare enough that doing things by 
hand should take less work overall. Besides, the main problem here is 
changes to modules and/or adding modules, which I don't think 
admin/merge-gnulib can handle by itself.
