Hello Ludo,
Unfortunately that cannot be practically be used. It would require
splitting into two gnulibs, one for the src/ directory and one for the
lib/ directory. That would mean two copies of the same files, and twice
the configure time checks. Given the (extremely large) number of checks
gnulib adds to configure, that doesn't seem like a reasonable solution.
regards,
Nikos
