[Bug-gnulib] new modules from gettext

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

Now that the module infrastructure is nearly in place (only missing
piece is the "gnulib-tool --import") and I'll start adding new modules
to gnulib. I'll present them one by one, so you get an opportunity to
understand, use and suggest improvements for them. But first, here is
a list: all the general-purpose modules of gettext/lib/.
