We don't use autoconf, so we can't directly use gnulib. Copying the files and making sure we provide the configure tests those files depend on (or tweaking the files to simplify to our build system, where we don't have to be quite as portable as gnulib tries to be) is going to be a manual process. But at least the license is compatible (LGPLv2+), and I'll willingly review patches attempted along those lines. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
