Would you mind adding these projects to the 'users' file? From that file,
I was under the impression that every gnulib user now uses gnulib-tool.

You have a point. I'll back out the change to gnulib-tool. What remains
is only the common naming convention of these macros (not _LGPL_PACKAGE here
and others there). Instead I'll add an m4 macro GL_MODULE_INDICATOR that does
the AC_DEFINE and that can be used in each configure.ac section of a module.
