The status has not changed: Both you and I want to revise and rewrite the
original draft patches that you put into the topic branch. Nothing can be
merged to the trunk.

Ad [1/7]: Half of the work has been done, but not yet pushed.

[2/7]: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-10/msg00308.html>

[3/7]: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-10/msg00307.html>
libposix needs to install only selected headers, not all of them. Let the
script look at the 'Include:' section of each module description.

[4/7]: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-10/msg00306.html>
more discussion needed

[5/7]: Patch to be rewritten to use nobase_nodist_include_HEADERS
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-10/msg00293.html>,
also need to add an Automake conditional to distinguish libposix from
other projects.
Also see whether the Automake bug can be fixed.

[6/7]: Mostly a discussion between you and Bruce. From my point of view,
anything you have here and that works can be re-proposed for the trunk.

[7/7]: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-10/msg00303.html>
Patch to be revised.
