This work was motivated by Dan's intention to introduce the keycodemapdb module into libvirt[1]. As it is, we have a few useful submodule-related features in our build system, but they are limited in that they assume there will be a single submodule, and it will be gnulib.
What is it that makes out submodule handling so complicated. eg in gtk-vnc and spice-gtk, we have a trivial line in autogen.sh 'git submodule update --init --recursive' that takes care of it. Is all the complexity we see caused by the need to detect when to re-run bootstrap for gnulib ?
