So, even though lib/strtoll.c says it's licensed under the GPL, it's
legal for:
$ gnulib-tool --import --lgpl strtoll
to change the license to LGPL?
I'm in need of this for strtoll() in wget which isn't available on
HP-UX. However, wget has the OpenSSL exception to the GPL and I don't
want to import strtoll and invalidate the wget license.
