Thanks, I'll add that to my list of things to do. Warning, though: my workload will be a bit high for the next few weeks (I'm teaching more courses than usual....). >> I have been meaning to look into the problem at some point, but it's been >> low priority, since the existing bootstrap script works. > > This has become urgent now: We're now having partial overlap of functionality > between gnulib-tool and 'bootstrap'. Yes, but these aren't bugs, right? They're merely duplication of effort. As I understand it the goal is to simplify our maintenance of gnulib-tool and bootstrap. I.e., both tools work now, but we want them to be easier to maintain and use.
