(I don't know how to import from gnulib, let > alone do it for just some of the modules.) No one's really answered, so I'll provide some feedback: We can add one or more modules, but I'm pretty sure the code for all modules need to be from the same version of gnulib. This means we need to import a more recent version of gnulib, but IIRC, the past few upgrades haven't always been completely smooth (although, perhaps it was more about the fact that we were adding new modules, rather than the fact that we were upgrading). In any case, doing the upgrade itself is fairly simple, but one needs to have enough time afterwards to follow up on any issues that come up from the update. I'd do it for you, but I don't have much of the time to followup on any breakage caused by it. If others are willing to help with that, I could give the gnulib update a go. -- Joel
