Well, I created http://josefsson.org/lessergnulib/ some time ago for
that, but I believe it is better if we don't have to fork gnulib.  So
far, all the problems I've had in gnulib have eventually been resolved
(e.g., getline, thread safety) , and I hope this will be the case now
too.

It would be nice to have something automated to test this kind of
regressions.  I'm working on an autobuilder, and it could check lgpl
vs gpl too.  That would detect these issues faster, and help us
resolve it immediately.  All assuming that this is something everyone
believe is a good idea, of course.
