Thanks for your patience.
I amended the first commit to do this:

  * MODULES.html.sh (Misc): Add getprogname.

Two things were mistakenly removed. I have restored them:

* lib/argmatch.c: Do not elide this comment:

  /*
   * Based on "getversion.c" by David MacKenzie <address@hidden>
   */

* modules/argmatch (Depends-on): Do not remove getprogname.

I'm prepared to push the attached, but will wait for your ack.
