Before implementing this, could someone more familiar with M4 say if
the latter is a good idea or not? I have not yet understood M4 enough
to understand all the differences between various quoting mechanisms.
I can't recall seeing similar code before, that's why I hesitate, but
I'm only familiar with M4 from sendmail and autoconf.
Perhaps the first version is simpler to parse in gnulib-tool though,
which is an advantage.
On the other hand, there is an advantage of having only one entry
point, otherwise gnulib-tool have to remember state between each call
to gl_INIT. This is probably needed to, for example, generate
gl_EARLY properly, as a superset of all gl_EARLY contents generated by
each gl_INIT.
