Willdo. For illustration, right now the complete list of gnulib modules
that I need are:
git-version-gen
lib-symbol-versions
maintainer-makefile
uniconv/u8-strconv-from-locale
unictype/bidicategory-of
unictype/property-combining
uninorm/nfc
uninorm/u32-normalize
unistr/u32-cpy-alloc
unistr/u32-to-u8
unistr/u8-to-u32
I'm not yet sure whether to generate the RFC 5892 tables on-the-fly or
during-compilation or not at all. The first alternative would have an
impact on the modules needed.
OTOH, by only relicensing some modules, I don't think I can use an
installed libunistring shared library, which would contain LGPLv3+ code
too.
