libgsystem as a git submodule, not system wide

[poma <pomidorabelisima gmail com>]

Why the 'libgsystem' is used as a git submodule, and not via the system
wide setup - 'libgsystem/devel'?

I suppose this is the git way to acquire the source code to build a
local tarball,
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager
cd NetworkManager/
git submodule init
git submodule update
./autogen.sh
cd ../
tar ...

Perhaps this is the reason, however it is still a mystery why are
snapshots created with a blank 'libgsystem/'!?
