I quickly looked at projects I am involved in.  coreutils and tar use a script 
named 'bootstrap', both sharing some code base with each other.  findutils 
uses a script named 'import-gnulib.sh', which is completely different from 
those above.

I am only afraid that requiring gnulib's bootstrap to be able to build 
development version of GNU nano, makes the project less nano.  There should 
be probably a wider consensus on it before introducing such a dependency.

Chris, what's your position on that?
