Nice work!

BTW, the fixaclocal thing you're using in libunistring and gettext
should not be necessary any more with Automake 1.10.1 or newer, where
a mismatched autoconf version will only cause a warning, but not an
error any more; a warning seems suitable, as the mismatch can in rare
cases cause problems.

Then, I'm sure you're aware of it, but a sizeable part of the
compilation process will not run in parallel even with 'make -j'.

Then, with a VPATH build from git, the libunistring.sym file is updated
in the build tree but searched in the source tree, here's part of the
make output:

                *.res.lo ) ;; \
                *.c | *.o | *.lo ) \
                  sf=`echo "$f" | sed -e 's,\\.[^.]*$,,'`.c; \
                  test -f $sf || sf=../../libunistring/lib/$sf; \
                  of=`echo "$f" | sed -e 's,^.*/,,' -e 's,\\.[^.]*$,,'`.o; \

                  rm -f $of `echo "$of" | sed -e 's,\\.o$,.lo,'`; \
                  ;; \
              esac; \
            done; \
          } 5>&1 \
            | sed -e 's,.* ,,' | LC_ALL=C sort | LC_ALL=C uniq \

            | sed -e 's,^\(.*\)$,#define \1 libunistring_\1,' > config.h-t && \
          if test -f config.h; then \
            cat config.h-t >> config.h; \
            rm -f config.h-t; \
          else \
            rm -f config.h-t; \
            exit 1; \
          fi \
        fi
join: ../../libunistring/lib/libunistring.sym: No such file or directory


Last but not least, I'll reply with a couple of trivial doc patches.

Cheers,
Ralf
