Hi Eric,

I've solved it.  No.  Not true.  I've kludged my way around it.
I now #include md5.c and whoami.c into shar.c and added
unlocked-io to my module list.   It works, but it would be
better to compile those .c files into libgnu.  How to do that
is not obvious enough from the gnulib-tool --list output.
Perhaps a ``gnulib-tool --apropos md5_stream get_submitter'' ??
I know what functions I want.  I know what files they're in.
I just don't know which modules provide those functions or
cause those sources to get compiled.

Thanks for your help.
