Looks like that's the intended mode of usage for gnulib: Its components are intended to be shared at the source level, rather than being a library that gets built, installed, and linked against. Thus, there is no distribution tarball; the idea is to copy files from Gnulib into your own source tree. That does sound like exactly what we need for getting portable implementations of the few GNU-extension functions we're using here. So thanks for sharing this. -Carl
