        bootstrap seems to check out into directory gnulib/ not lib/
        Did something change recently here ? (there is also gnulib/lib/ ... is 
the
        build-system meant to refer to this ?)
        
    lib/ is where gnulib-tool installs the source files for the modules
    specified in bootstrap.conf.  It has a Makefile.in, installed by
    gnulib-tool, so that's why automake should be run after gnulib sets
    everything up.  gnulib-tool is also executed by `bootstrap'.

I mean Makefile.am.
