Yes, that's it essentially. When you look at
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2003-03/msg00020.html
you see that the points
  - config.libpath, reloc-ldflags, install-reloc,
  - lib/ sources,
  - lib/Makefile.am,
  - m4/ macros,
  - m4/Makefile.am,
  - configure.ac
can all be accomodated into a gnulib module. The section "Your sources"
should probably be documented in a .texi file, and the section
"Your Makefile.am" is automake work.

The best starting point is probably the gettext-runtime/src/Makefile.am in
the gettext CVS, together with a fresh GNU hello for making experiments.

Wonderful!!
