   Ok, I'm going to do that. My point was that extra work will be needed anyway.

An alternative would be to define pdf_list_t, pdf_list_iterator_t, etc
much like the following:

struct pdf_list_s
{
   void *gl_list;
   /* Maybe more information... extensions, etc */
};

typedef pdf_list_s *pdf_list_t;

Then we can include gl_array_list.h in pdf-list.c and really use the
gnulib module in an internal way. For example:

#include <gl_array_list.h>

[...]

inline pdf_status_t
pdf_list_destroy (pdf_list_t list)
{
  gl_list_free ((gl_list_t) list->gl_list);
  return PDF_OK;
}
