Thanks, done. Alternatively, it would help if I could tell gnulib-tool that it won't need to build a library at all, namely because the project in question (vc-dwim) doesn't use any compiled code, merely a couple of the nice helper modules. If you like that idea, I can try to write a patch to this end. Not sure though whether gnulib-tool may be able to infer that no objects are needed, or whether a switch is needed. Put another way: gnulib is so useful that it's useful to non-C projects in its own right! :-) Cheers, and thanks for maintaining it! Ralf
