* Check out a the latest Tar CVS.
* Run "./bootstrap".
Tar's bootstrap is amazing, and amazingly complex.
For my taste, I prefer to separate things like "get canonical gnulib
from cvs" (cvs update in a gnulib checkout) and "merge into my source
directory" (gnulib-tool) and "run autotools" (bootstrap). This is what
I've done so far for Hello.
>From the point of view of people adopting gnulib (which is what Hello is
all about, basically), I think it is better to show and separate the
pieces than provide one magical humongous script that does everything.
I know the all-in-one bootstrap is convenient, and that's cool. But
it's not what I'd recommend for people getting started with Gnulib.
