This gnulib patch modifies "verify" to use C1X's _Static_assert if
running GCC 4.6.0 or later, which generates easier-to-read
diagnostics. I haven't pushed this yet because I thought it wouldn't
hurt to get more pairs of eyes to look at it.

Running bootstrap updates .gitignore to sort it. However, it sorts
lines with ! first, even though they should be last to be effective.
For example, on libvirt, we have:
/po/
!/po/POTFILES.in
to quickly ignore all generated files under po, but then whitelist the
version-controlled POTFILES.in fi
