gl_MODULES has moved out of configure.ac and into gnulib-cache.m4, in
order to reduce churn on configure.ac for the entire project, as well as
to cache a few more parameters and to allow multiple gnulib directories in
a single project.

Ulitmately, you now need to run gnulib once with all parameters explicitly
set on the command line, then check in gnulib-cache.m4 to CVS. Then, all
other users of CVS can run the single 'gnulib-tool --import' as part of
bootstrap, and pick up the contents of gnulib-cache.m4 to guide it. You
may also want to use --no-changelog in your bootstrap script, so that
gnulib-tool only does changelog entries when not bootstrapping a fresh CVS
checkout.
This does not quite work if the m4 directory is not in the standard
location; for the m4 project, where the m4 base is ./ltdl/m4 instead of
./m4 I found I had to tell bootstrap to do 'gnulib-tool --import
- --m4-base="$config_macro_dir" --no-changelog':
