FYI, I wrote some patch rationales now and pushed the gnulib
patches I had to that branch, if anyone wants to take an
early look.  The

    gnulib::func creates strong references to rpl_func
    gnulib, gcc >= 6 and std::frexp

patches are meant to be sent to the gnulib folks.  The patch
at the tip of the branch right now is the one that makes
use of gnulib namespace support, which should go in before
the make_cleanup_ui_file_delete elimination patch...

Thanks,
