Hi all, In order to keep track of the work to be done on gnulib-tool.py, before we can recommend it as a replacement of gnulib-tool, I'm adding a file 'gnulib-tool.py.TODO' to the repository.
Please reduce it accordingly when fixing something in gnulib-tool.py. Please extend it when you find a new interesting test case where gnulib-tool.py is not yet on par with gnulib-tool. Also, I should remember to extend it when making some change to gnulib-tool. Bruno
