I'd suggest a couple of tweaks:

1.  gnulib_non_module_files ought to be dependent upon not being set
    by bootstrap.conf (as is the case), but also $build_aux.
    if configure.ac or bootstrap.conf changes it, this variable will
    not be correct.

2.  Perhaps just my preference, but the embedded README/usage/help
    text feels like too much clutter that belongs in associated
    doc files rather than filling the first several hundred lines
    of the script.  :)

Clearly a well designed script.  I vote for sanity checking the thing
and then plugging it in.  :)  Thanks, Gary.
