Yeah, I forgot to say that: I don't see a critical problem with
gnulib-tool written in shell today. It has grown into a complex script,
which can be difficult to debug and understand, and it can be quite slow
sometimes (so I appreciate optimizations). But it has worked fine for
me for a long time, and it isn't clear to me that moving to perl or
something else would be an overall improvement.
