Thanks.  That patch removed some Bruno-specific stuff that I'd rather
not mess with without Bruno looking at it first (also, it wasn't in
the proposed changelog entry).  The other stuff looked OK, though, so
I installed this more-conservative patch.

       and  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>
        
        * gnulib-tool: Replace various ad-hoc automake/autoconf/aclocal
        calls with autoreconf.  Define GL_LIB.
