I'll do that.

I was hoping to end up with a single file that other projects would use from 
gnulib.

I've added those back, My small screen makes these things harder to spot in

There seems to be a conflict here between coreutils's approach (use a list 
of exceptions generated from the VCS) and gnulib's (generate a list of files 
to look at). What do you suggest as a next step? In either case, the place 
to fix seems to be _prohibit_regexp (as coreutils's maint.mk factors out the 
common code into this single "macro").

I attach a diff against git HEAD with the changes for point 3 above.
