Details:

Dear all,
After pulling the new 7.1.0 revision, the 'bootstrap' step failed with strange
messages about bison not available, autoconf missing bison module, ...

FYI I compiled 6.4.0 a few month ago.

Then I pulled a fresh copy of the repository, where this step worked. The fix
in my case is to completelly remove the 'gnulib' subdir and call 'bootstrap'
once more.

It seems that updating gnulib by executing "bootstrap" may fail; the simplest
cure is create a fresh copy.

Regards

Pascal
