Projects that use gnulib's bootstrap can set environment variables to point to a local clone of gnulib.git. However, libtool uses its own custom bootstrap, and I don't know if it has that same functionality. Patches are certainly welcome. And it would also be nice if libtool's own bootstrap could be merged back upstream with gnulib's bootstrap. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
