What I am looking for, really, is have a module import list somewhere, and a procedure that anyone can use to refresh our import. That is exactly what ./bootstrap provides, you list the modules you need in bootstrap.conf (the variable gnulib_modules), and bootstrap takes care of the rest. That's very kind of you. If you don't have time, don't sweat it. But with our no-automake setup, it's hard sometimes to follow the gnulib documentation. I usually end up figuring things out through a combination of documentation and experimentation... I'll look at it this week, and see that for example the gdb/gnulib/ directory doesn't have to be checked in.
