Hello,
When converting library names to Makefile variables, gnulib-tool
forgets to convert dashes. The following patch fixes it. It also fixes
unneeded duplication of --avoid options, notable in `# Reproduce by:'
headers in generated Makefile.ams.
No objections?

Right, but the same issue arises.
And if I remember well it is under LGPL 2 or above.
I could not find any obvious statement. The source files I looked at

Good! To summarize: All GPLed (non-LGPLed) packages that use gnulib are
fine with GPLv3.

That sounds like a good idea, thanks. The default, though, should be

Any objections to this
