[Findutils-patches] [PATCH] Avoid false-positive of GPL_version check in maint.mk.

[James Youngman]

* import-gnulib.sh (usage): Defeat the simple GPL version check
of maint.mk, since it's trying to identify GPL2 licenses.  Since
the 'rehack' script converts v2 licenses into v3, we get a false
positive for v2.  So, amusingly, we use the same hack that
maint.mk uses to avoid a false positive on itself: spurious
quotes.
