I want to fix GNU grep to use gnulib-tool --import.

So I suppose I'll list the required modules somewhere (gl_MODULES in
configure.ac) and gnulib-tool will to all the work.

gnulib-tool does resolve the dependencies, right?
(Else I would have to use something as in the bison bootstrap to resolve
the dependencies.)

And the dependencies will probably bring the gettext module.
I want to make sure that there are no conflicts (autopoint?).

If you are right that I need nothing more than gettext.h, then all I need
is to implement option --exclude=gettext for gnulib-tool, so that the
dependencies won't bring it in.  I can then copy gettext.h separately
and add it to EXTRA_DIST by hand.

Does it explain what I want to achieve?  Do you have any hints for me?

Have a nice day,
