Hi Gary,
> Making libposix into a module makes life considerably easier.
Yes, it triggers the magic that tells gnulib-tool to omit the augmentation of
noinst_LIBRARIES.
But I don't agree with putting the module list here. Who will keep it
up-to-date? The maintainable solution is to use `./posix-modules`. But how?
Either
a) extend gnulib-tool so that it understands
Depends-on:
`./posix-modules`
and invokes the 'posix-modules' script.
Or
b) Invoke ../posix-modules in the bootstrap script of the 'libposix'
subdirectory.
For the moment, I would prefer solution b), because it would slow down every
lookup of dependencies in gnulib-tool, and because evaluating shell commands
here and there can be seen as a security problem in some contexts.
