OK, I installed the following into gnulib.

Sergey, I think you're the only user of the argp module now.  Would
you like to take over as maintainer?  gnulib/modules/argp currently
says the maintainer is "Simon Josefsson, glibc", but I think Simon
stopped using it.  I've been installing patches into it but since I
don't use it I'm not really a good person to do this.

The main thing on the to-do list is to migrate the gnulib changes back
into libc, by filing bug reports into glibc bugzilla etc.

        * config/srclist.txt: Comment out argp-pvh.c.
        * lib/argp-pvh.c (argp_program_version_hook): Provide initial value.
