Confirmed success with oath-toolkit; identical generated files.

Old execution time was ~48 seconds, now it is at 0.7 seconds.

The slow gnulib-tool runtime was the primary reason for putting gnulib
generated files into git for oath-toolkit.  Waiting close to a minute
for a fresh rebuild became unbearable during development cycles, and
this is not on the slowest of machines (i7-1260P, 64GB RAM, Samsung SSD
990 PRO).  Now I can experiment with removing gnulib files from version
control again.

jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$ time make -f cfg.mk 
...
real    0m48,169s
user    0m49,900s
sys     0m9,658s
jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$ export GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=py
jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$ time make -f cfg.mk 
...
real    0m0,704s
user    0m0,527s
sys     0m0,179s
jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$

In case you doubt this was due to a caching speedup, here is another
invocation right after the previous python run:

jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$ export GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=sh
jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$ time make -f cfg.mk 
...
real    0m49,414s
user    0m50,742s
sys     0m10,332s
jas@kaka:~/src/oath-toolkit$

Thank you so much,
