That sounds like a good compromise to me.

I'd like to contribute my reimplementation of various argz functions in
the same way.  If it turns out to be workable, I'll write new versions 
of
the other functions from the argz api that libltdl doesn't currently use
so that there is an libtool licensed master of the whole thing...

Better yet, maybe we could have a note in the gnulib copies that patches
(eg for missing argz calls) should be contributed back to libtool to 
avoid
mixing GPL code on merge?

Cheers,
        Gary.
