gnulib update policy

gnulib update policy

[Andrei Borzenkov]

I have two pending patches for gnulib; each one is included upstream.
What is the policy in this case - update individual files, add patches
to be applied at autogen step or update from upstream (latter I'd
rather avoid at this stage)?

I went ahead and committed both. They fix obvious bugs, they are self
contained and do not depend on anything else, they are upstream.

Thank you. Do you know how big the gnulib update would be?

I was reluctant to do full update before 2.02. Even external-inline.m4
contains far more changes than I would prefer in this case.

Here is git diff --shortstat for files included in grub assuming they
do not have additional dependencies.
