[PATCH] build: sync primary and tests-related gnulib module lists

[Jim Meyering]

This patch is for information/discussion only.
With today's wctob build failure problem and with two or three
similar incidents recently, I wanted a way to automatically
derive the list of modules used in gnulib-tests, but not in lib/.
Here it is (see the "comm" use below).  What to do with that list
is another matter.

In the case of wctob, it was clearly needed in lib/,
since dfa.c uses the function.

I don't want to add all of the modules listed here
and have begun to prune the list, but there are more to go.
For example, we'll keep c-ctype, because grep will soon use it.
Similarly, I wouldn't be surprised to see uses of inttostr or quote.
However, most of the rest are truly unnecessary.

Subject: [PATCH] build: sync primary and tests-related gnulib module lists

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Synchronize the primary list
of modules with the list used by tests, so that we don't have
a repeat of the wctob-vs-Solaris 8 build failure.
I've omitted argmatch, since it would evoke a new warning,
pathmax because we shouldn't be using it and hash-pjw since
its absence obviously will not cause trouble.
I used this command to obtain the list of modules:
comm -13 <(grep 'begin gnulib module' lib/gnulib.mk|sort) \
    <(grep 'begin gnulib module' gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk \
      |grep -ve '-tests$'|sort)\
  | sed 's/.* //' | grep -Ev '^(argmatch|dummy|pathmax|hash-pjw)$'
