Collin can correct me, but one way that using Gnulib's bootstrap script
makes life easier is in avoiding header conflicts: when Gnulib is
distributed as an integral part of a package, to _not_ build against it
requres hiding the Gnulib headers. In the case of GNU Global, this can
be done by excluding -I${top_srcdir}/libglibc from AM_CPPFLAGS (one of
the omissions in my latest patch), but in the more general case, the
Gnulib headers have to be renamed, which gets complicated fast.

Got it, thanks for the advice.
I use the latest packages and try not to tinker too much.
No problem. Let me know if you need help. I am a committer in Gnulib. Or
you can send mail to [email protected].
I don't know CVS that well, though. So that will slow me down a bit. :)
