I've pushed this patch to our temporary repo.

If you have any problems compiling, the first thing is to run

  make maintainer-clean
  ./autogen.sh

The gnulib integration relies on quite alot of m4/configure magic, so these
two commands ensure it gets into a pristine state. After this you should be
ok. Let me know if you have problems building & i'll sort them out.

You should never need to modify any file under the 'gnulib/' directory.
Those are all taken directly from gnulib & only ever changed when running
the 'bootstrap' script to import a newer gnulib code drop. Experiance with
libvirt has shown we don't need todo that very often & its fairly painless
