This seems very odd to me. We need a bootstrap script to build the
source? It also requires git, which also seems odd.
Our development environment requires git, so this isn't a new
dependency.
I'd prefer that we limit ourselves to the following steps:
1. ./autogen.sh
2. ./configure
3. make
4. make install
Our development is no more complex with gnulib, it just replaces
./autogen.sh with ./bootstrap to setup our environment, since it will
pull gnulib down for you if you don't have it installed.
This is the same development environment used by libvirt and other
projects that need to be cross-platform.
I'd NACK this patch, but it has already been pushed to the git
repository.
Sorry, I jumped the gun on this and pushed it since it only modified our
development environment. We can revert and discuss
