There would be no gnulib directory in a tree checked out after commit 
2621d48f00. Another option is to check for the 'bootstrap' script in the root of 
the tree, which was removed by 2621d48f00.

I'm afraid my perl is too weak to quickly hack something up to support both pre 
and post gnulib builds :-(. I'll add this task to my list if you don't have time 
for it.
