It seems odd to me that the developers of a GNU library fight so
hard to avoid their code being portable. The gnulib manual [1] says:
Gnulib is useful to enhance various aspects of a package:
* Portability: With Gnulib, a package maintainer can program
against the POSIX and GNU libc APIs and nevertheless expect good
portability to platforms that don't implement POSIX.
* Maintainability: When a package uses modules from Gnulib instead
of code written specifically for that package, the maintainer has
less code to maintain.
It seems that manual promotes exactly the features that Eli needs.
