Do you have a pointer to the old discussion?  I think it would be useful
to have a maintained tool like that, even if it is not the official
gnulib-tool.  Of course, any build failures needs to be double-checked
against gnulib-tool to understand if the problem is in the optimized
gnulib-tool or in some module.
