$ /devel/gnulib/git/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap --skip-po
--gnulib-srcdir=/devel/gnulib/git/gnulib
/devel/gnulib/git/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap: Bootstrapping from a
non-checked-out distribution is risky.
$

bootstrap.conf contains:
[...]
# We use README-alpha, not README-hacking.
checkout_only_file=README-alpha

# gnulib library name
gnulib_name=libgnu
[...]
