Thanks, done.
Alternatively, it would help if I could tell gnulib-tool that it won't
need to build a library at all, namely because the project in question
(vc-dwim) doesn't use any compiled code, merely a couple of the nice
helper modules. If you like that idea, I can try to write a patch to
this end. Not sure though whether gnulib-tool may be able to infer that
no objects are needed, or whether a switch is needed.
Put another way: gnulib is so useful that it's useful to non-C projects
in its own right! :-)
Cheers, and thanks for maintaining it!
