Honestly, what is the problem with gnulib-tool? Why do you find it
hard to understand?
Personally, I think g-t is about as well written as anything of its size
and purpose could be, but 6000 lines of anything is not prima facie
obvious and easy to understand, regardless of language.
not easily possible to determine the default value for a variable?!
Ruben, I commend sh -vx to you :).
