gnulib-tool can already put a file at the top directory of a package - you just
have to put the original into the top directory of gnulib.
But since a GNUmakefile in the top directory of gnulib would hide the Makefile
of gnulib, I propose to move it from build-aux/GNUmakefile to top/GNUmakefile,
and enhance gnulib-tool with a filename rewriting rule that transforms
$GNULIBDIR/top/GNUmakefile --> $PACKAGEDIR/GNUmakefile
