Hi Paul, all, When the 'glob' module was created in May 2005, a macro gl_GLOB_SUBSTITUTE was introduced. It is now unused (nothing in gnulib nor in other packages uses it). Derek Price's rationale was [1] "gl_GLOB_SUBSTITUTE can enable the glob module without a call to gl_GLOB at all"
Basically its effect is to use the included glob sources even on glibc systems. But what's the point, given that the gl_GLOB macro does the replacement more carefully? I propose to remove this macro.
