Gnulib Gentoo package

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hello Timothy,
(bug-gnulib: FYI - maybe clarify the canonical gnulib source location)

I noticed 2 issues in your Gnulib Gentoo package:

- The package is built from the CVS sources. Please note that
  development moved to Git, so the CVS sources are now outdated.

  Check: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git

- The package uses a wrapper in /usr/bin/gnulib-tool to
  /usr/share/gnulib/gnulib-tool. Unfortunately this wrapper does a:

    cd "/usr/share/gnulib"

  thus gnulib-tool is executed from /usr/share/gnulib instead of the
  source package location, which fails with a puzzling:

    /path/to/mysource$ sh ./boostrap
    gnulib-tool: *** cannot find ./configure.ac

  This was reported for my project by Alexander, and you can find
  another report for Guile at:
