The sha1sum program is part of GNU coreutils.  But it looks like the
bootstrap script only uses it if there are .po files to update (we
don't have any), so I
don't think we really need it.  What happenss if you comment out the

  find_tool SHA1SUM sha1sum gsha1sum

line in the bootstrap script?  Does it work then?

Also, if you see a message about no libgnu/gnulib.mk file, you will
need to create a file called libgnu/Makefile.am with the contents

  include gnulib.mk

before running autogen.sh.  I think that filewas accidentally left out
of my previous patch.
