That looks ok to me.  I just checked that ./autogen.sh seems to be
working ok from the release tarball.

I do not like that idea.  autogen.sh should not do something like that,
should not change code, in my opinion.  In README-hacking there is an
explanation on how to rerun gnulib-tool, it is a one liner, I am not
convinced that a separate script that uses $GNULIB_SRCDIR instead of a
path on the command line is more useful.

We could still add the one liner in a separate script to regenerate
gnulib from $GNULIB_SRCDIR in the util/ directory.
