Re: autocache

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   I suggest to not put config.cache in the source tree, which also fits
   the nodist_ description you used in Makefile.am.  If you don't mind,
   I'll push the fix as below.

Please do, that was the idea with the fully writable tree.

   Then, how did you come up with the list of gnulib modules in
   bootstrap.conf and the list of macros to call in configure.ac?
   Ideally, they should not generated and not specified manually, that
   will only lead to bit rot.  If needed, then it is more useful to
   specify exceptions manually.

I first extracted all modules from gnulib, and went over them manually
to figure out what is "sensible"; with a very vauge definition of
"sensible".  Not sure what the best way is to extract them.
