I notice that coreutils bootstrap has diverged from gnulib bootstrap. Was this intended? Here's the current difference (counting the coreutils patch I just proposed). Would there be any objection to installing these changes into gnulib? 2007-07-13 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * boo

If I remember correctly, the initial reason why gnulib used the GPL template for some LGPL file was because CoreUtils didn't yet use gnulib-tool at the time. The CoreUtils maintainers didn't want to manually change the files every time they were imported from gnulib. I suggest we revert that deci
