Yes, sorry about that. Mea culpa.

I'd prefer to avoid the need for the people who maintain the
MS-Windows build to understand the structure of lib/gnulib.mk in too
many details, such as what files comprise each Gnulib package, and
what is the meaning of the likes of EXTRA_libgnu_a_SOURCES. OTOH, I'd
prefer not to bother people who merge from Gnulib with understanding
what parts the MS-Windows build needs to avoid.
Having a simple list of Gnulib packages to remove from lib/gnulib.mk,
similar to nt/gnulib-modules-to-delete.cfg, is therefore preferable to
a much more detailed list that you propose to maintain manually in
lib/Makefile.am. It is also simpler, since the syntax of Makefile.am
doesn't need to be familiar to whoever modifies the list of modules.
Is it possible to use a similar plain list of modules while solving
this with GNU Make features? If not, I think we should stick with the
current solution. It's not a bad one, I think, once we clean up the
portability issues. (I just tried to solve a couple of such issues.)
Thanks.
