gnulib-tool: Improve handling of multiple --local-dir options.
* doc/gnulib.texi (Extending Gnulib): Explain how multiple --local-dir
options work.
* gnulib-tool (func_path_prepend): Remove function.
(func_path_foreach): Make IFS handling more robust.
(local_gnulib_path): Collect --local-dir values using func_path_append,
not func_path_prepend.
(func_determine_path_separator): Make IFS handling more robust.
(func_lookup_file_cb): New function.
(func_lookup_file): Rewritten to use func_lookup_file_cb instead of
func_lookup_local_file. Apply the patches in the reverse order of their
origin in $local_gnulib_path.
(func_count_relative_local_gnulib_path): Make IFS handling more robust.
* NEWS: Mention that the first --local-dir option is the one with
highest priority.

$Id: COPYING,v 1.3 2006-10-26 16:20:28 eggert Exp $ The files in here are mostly copyright (C) Free Software Foundation, and are under assorted licenses. Mostly, but not entirely, GPL. Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your option. The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c) state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are GPL'd programs. But the files in the modules directory (e.g., modules/error) state the true license of each file, and when you use 'gnulib-tool --lgpl --import <modules>', gnulib-tool either rewrites the files to have an LGPL header as part of copying them from gnulib to your project directory, or fails because the modules you requested were not licensed under LGPL. Some of the source files in lib/ have different licenses. Also, the copy of maintain.texi in doc/ has a verbatim-copying license, and doc/standards.texi and make-stds.texi are GFDL. Most (but not all) m4/*.m4 files have nearly unlimited licenses.
