* .gnulib: Update to latest, for improved bootstrap.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
* autogen.sh (bootstrap): Add --bootstrap-sync, to make it easier
to keep bootstrap up-to-date. Pass optional --no-git through.

Sorry for the late response (this was first reported months ago!)
I tested this by installing a bogus git at the front of my PATH that
always fails will let ./autogen.sh --no-git work without git (well,
mostly tested it, to the point where it got past the gnulib-tool
invocation, but on Fedora 14, gettext 0.18 also depends on git, so
autogen.sh didn't complete; I suspect that it would completely work on
cygwin which still has gettext 0.17, but that platform takes a lot
longer to run a test on a patch like this).
ACK,
Daniel
