Somehow this change doesn't make me get the autoconf submodule; nor do I
get the gnulib submodule, but I happened to use --gnulib-srcdir anyway.

As I haven't used submodules in git at all yet, I assume I'm just missing
something obvious, but in order to avoid others missing the same, I suggest
documenting whatever it takes to get them into README-hacking and maybe also
to <http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=56>.

Thanks, and happy holidays!
Ralf
