With the following patches, libguestfs now bootstraps from cloned

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/libguestfs/po'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../tools/virt-edit.pl',\

but got past it by running this:
make -C po update-po
This is a missing dependency or something like that. It's a "well
known" step you have to take after checking out a fresh libguestfs
from git ...
Once I got it to build and pass "make check" I didn't
try
to narrow down precisely which patch(es) made the difference,
so some of these changes may be unnecessary.
Iterating to find a smaller set set didn't seem worthwhile.
Here's shortlog output:
build: update to latest gnulib
bootstrap: use --libtool
include config.h, even from examples
examples/Makefile.am: link with libgnu.la for use of rpl_getcwd
Thanks, I've applied this. It appears to be working for me, but I'm
just running through 'make check' to be sure.
