[PATCH] maint.mk: Give gnulib_dir a default definition.

[Jim Meyering]

FYI, I've just pushed the following.

Bottom line: if you define gnulib_dir to 'gnulib' in cfg.mk,
you may now remove that definition.

Subject: [PATCH] maint.mk: Give gnulib_dir a default definition.

* top/maint.mk (gnulib_dir): Define to 'gnulib', by default.
Thus, most packages no longer need to specify this variable in cfg.mk
