Hi Simon,

Thank you.
I've applied it with this log entry:

    build: use maint.mk from gnulib

    * maint.mk: Remove file.  Now it's generated.
    * .gitignore: Ignore it.
    * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile.
    * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

To update the submodule to latest, I did this:

    ( cd gnulib && git pull )

then ran "git commit --amend -a" to add that change to your change set.
