You are in the same boat as I compared to those gNewSense users. ;-)

It would be nice it gnulib-tool could do it, but I have a hard time
thinking how that would actually be implemented.  There are so many
different ways you may want to organize your gnulib directories that
having gnulib-tool support them all is probably going to overload the
poor shell script.  Concrete ideas are always welcome, though...
