and i didn't say you did, did i ? you said the replacement in this particular
case is fairly simple, but that's the problem with these things -- they always
starts as simple one-offs for specific targets. having worked on many projects
that took varying amounts of such one-offs (including mkdir redirects), gnulib
is really the only sane answer. it takes all the worry off our shoulders.
