Nice!

I tried to use two gnulib-directories in libidn a week ago, and failed
because of AC_LIBOBJ.

So, basically, each foo_INIT would have to define foo_LIBOBJ and
foo_LIBOBJ_REPLACE_FUNCS and push/pop them before calling the other
functions.

Hm.  I think I have enough information to start working on this now.
Stay tuned.
