Thanks; pushed.

On a related note:  On IRC, you mentioned that you encountered an
inf-loop for make and autogen.sh when you had local modifications in
your .gnulib file.  Do you have a simple formula for reproducing that?
If I'm correct, I suspect that autogen and/or bootstrap could be taught
how to recognize whether a 'git submodule update' was sufficient to sync
up to the expected version (the normal case) vs. still noticing that
.gnulib is dirty due to local changes (at least, I'm assuming that was
the situation you were in); in the latter case, it would then be fatal
with a message reminding you to commit your changes so that the
submodule is no longer dirty rather than inf-looping trying to sync up
something that won't change.
