I just started looking at this. It looks like the reading of
gnulib-cache.m4 will need to be reworked.
In gnulib-tool.sh line 5203:
# The docbase defaults to the cached one.
if test -z "$docbase"; then
docbase="$cached_docbase"
if test -z "$docbase"; then
# Long error message here.

The corresponding section would be GLImport.__init__(), but we set the
default docbase in main.py line 943, before creating the GLImport:
if not docbase:
docbase = 'doc'
So we can't check for the empty string. I guess we docbase an empty
string if --docbase isn't used. Then only set it to the cache or
default in GLImport.__init__(). But that section of code is already
sort of difficult to follow...
