We're going to be eliminating autotools and gnulib, but we still wish to
have the 'make syntax-check' functionality.
This imports the minimal set of gnulib files required to keep this
working.

This makes it so we record (via a git submodule)
a snapshot of whatever version of gnulib we're using,
and none of gnulib sources are in the libvirt repository.
The result is that we have as much reproducibility as when
we version-controlled imported copies of the gnulib sources,
but without the hassle of the manual process we used when
syncing with upstream.
Note that when you clone libvirt, you get only the libvirt
repository, but when you first run ./bootstrap, it clones
gnulib (at the SHA1 recorded via the submodule), creating
the .gnulib/ hierarchy. Then, the bootstrap script runs
gnulib-tool to populate gnulib/ with the files that make
up the selected modules.
Put the following in your ~/.gitconfig file.
[alias]
syncsub = submodule foreach git pull origin master
The update procedure is simple:
git syncsub
...build & test...
git commit -m 'gnulib: sync submodule to latest' .gnulib
* .gitmodules: New file.
* .gnulib: Initialize.
* bootstrap: Set up to use the new submodule.
Stop using --no-vc-files.
Don't remove .gitignore files.
Don't use or create .cvsignore.
Diagnose an invalid --gnulib-srcdir=DIR argument.
* build-aux/vc-list-files: Delete file, now pulled from gnulib.
* build-aux/useless-if-before-free: Likewise.
* po/POTFILES.in: Remove gnulib/lib/gai_strerror.c, since
it no longer contains translatable strings.
* gnulib/*: Remove gnulib/ hierarchy.
* tests/Makefile.am (test_scripts): Add vcpupin.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add test-lib.sh.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Testing framework, from coreutils.
* tests/vcpupin: New file.
* build-aux/mktempd: New file, from gnulib.
* bootstrap: Add posix-shell and mktempd to the list of imported modules.
* gnulib/m4/posix-shell.m4: New file, from gnulib.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Add useless-if-before-free to
the list of modules.
* build-aux/useless-if-before-free: Update from gnulib.
* gnulib/lib/vasnprintf.c: Work around a bug in HPUX 10.20.
* gnulib/m4/vasnprintf.m4: Likewise.
