No, Gary's alternative 'bootstrap' is fine. It is customizable.

All that I suggested is to define the list of modules and gnulib-tool
options in the 'bootstrap.conf' file =E2=80=94 which 'bootstrap' supports =
=E2=80=94
rather than in the m4/gnulib-cache.m4 file. And then remove m4/gnulib-cache=
=2Em4
from version control.
