Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] autogen.sh: Rewrite and modularize

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 ?
