I attach a first go at merging. I only noticed two significant elements in 
gnulib's maint.mk:

1. The setting of MYSELF from ME.

2. The setting of C_SOURCES.

Other than that I (in an ediff session) simply accepted all the new and 
extended material from coreutils's maint.mk. I also took the copyright 
notice (which had some punctuation changes) from coreutils, and fixed the 
English in the first two lines of comment, just above the copyright notice.

I'm just trying to get this off the ground, so please feel free to bring it 
back down to earth with a bump!
