Looks good to me. This way if some old application should require
libunique, we have it. I'll also ask about libunique at gnunet-devel
list with some other applications I need to question. As far as I
understand Christian, they want to avoid external dependencies where
possible. A ifcase for gnunet-gtk is in the HEAD of gnunet-gtk.

Thanks
