OK, here's a fixed version of 0006 patch, gnutls compiles with it.
The problem was that *.h glob did not include gnunet.h.in in
lib/includes/gnunet/, it needed gnunet.h, but gnunet.h was generated
in builddir, not in sourcedir. I've explicitly added gnunet.h to the
list that cat feeds to perl script. However, that changed the order in
which file contents are presented (gnunet.h is now at the tail, not in
the middle), so i had to sort both the original file (when diffing
only, obviously) and generated temporary file.
Other fixes were my attempts to fix this, but they don't hurt either.
Apparently, lack of autogen does not prevent everything from building
(to my genuine surprise).
