    The only proper solution is to _copy_ the two ,v files directly (on
    the CVS server) into the emacs repository, to preserve consistency &
    history.

This would sync them up, now.  However, we would like to make sure
they remain in sync.  I have an idea for how to do that:

1. Do something to prohibit commits to these two files, in Emacs.

2. Have a cron job which copies the master files from gnulib to Emacs
once per hour.

Rudy, can this be done?
