Collin can correct me, but one way that using Gnulib's bootstrap script 
makes life easier is in avoiding header conflicts: when Gnulib is 
distributed as an integral part of a package, to _not_ build against it 
requres hiding the Gnulib headers. In the case of GNU Global, this can 
be done by excluding -I${top_srcdir}/libglibc from AM_CPPFLAGS (one of 
the omissions in my latest patch), but in the more general case, the 
Gnulib headers have to be renamed, which gets complicated fast.
