Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
* README-cvs: New file.
* bootstrap: New file.
* bootstrap.conf: New file.
* .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
of gnulib-tool.
(gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
(gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
(gl_EARLY): Add.
(gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
* src/c99-to-c98.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
* src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
* src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
* src/wc.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
* src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
* src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
(getpass): remove.
* src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
Include inttypes.h unconditionally; remove decls it handles.
* lib/Makefile.am: include gnulib.mk, so that we can remove most of
this file.
(AM_CPPFLAGS): Don't mention -I$(srcdir), since that's now done
for us.
(noinst_LIBRARIES, LDDADD, DEFS): Remove.
(libcoreutils_a_SOURCES): Trim down greatly, just to the files
that aren't in gnulib.
Remove defns gnulib does for us.
* m4/check-decl.m4 (gl_CHECK_DECLS):
Don't include stdio.h, string.h, stdlib.h, unistd.h, sys/time.h,
time.h. Use AC_CHECK_DECLS_ONCE for free, getenv, geteuid, getlogin,
getuid, lseek, malloc, memchr, realloc. Don't check for getutent,
memrchr, nanosleep, stpcpy, strndup, strnlen, strstr, strtoul,
strtoull.
(_gl_DECL_HEADERS): Remove; all uses removed.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (gl_MACROS): Move AC_PREREQ into configure.ac
for the benefit of gnulib-tool. Call gl_INIT.
Do not call or require macros that gnulib will handle for us.
Don't check for fchmod, hasmntopt, isascii, lchown, listmntent,
mempcpy, realpath, wcrtomb, tzset.
(gl_CHECK_ALL_HEADERS): Don't check for sys/statvfs.h, sys/vfs.h,
sys/mount.h.
(gl_CHECK_ALL_TYPES): Require AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
Don't check for struct stat.st_blksize.
Don't require AC_STRUCT_ST_DM_MODE, gt_TYPE_SSIZE_T,
gl_AC_TYPE_UINT32_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T, gl_AC_TYPE_UINTPTR_T,
gl_AC_TYPE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG.
* m4/prereq.m4 (gl_PREREQ): Require gl_FUNC_XFTS, gl_ROOT_DEV_INO.
Don't require macros that gnulib does for us.
* m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Don't check for
sys/sysmacros.h. Don't check for statvfs. Use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE
for netinet/in.h, nfs/nfs_clnt.h, nfs/vfs.h.
Don't require gl_AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG, gt_HEADER_INTTYPES_H.
