Details:

[[ -z "$DO_NOT_WANT_CHANGELOG_DRIVER" ]]

[[ tests ]] is a bash extension, therefore import-gnulib will not work
reliably on systems where /bin/sh is dash instead of bash.

There are two ways to fix this:
a) I am /pretty/ sure that all instances of using [[ tests ]] in the script
of could simply replaced with [ tests ].

b) Document it. Change the shebang line to /bin/bash and say "bash
import-gnulib.sh" in README-hacking.
