Would anybody object if I changed all the other modules to be
compatible with config-h?  The only downside is that gnulib would now
require packages to use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, but all gnulib-using
packags that I know of already do this, so it's not much of a
downside.

The fix is straightforward and simplifies the code.  E.g., the
following patch suffices for the xstrndup module.  Also, if all the
other modules are changed this way, we could even remove the config-h
module, as it'd no longer be necessary.
