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.

Gnulib provides copies of the GNU GPL, GNU LGPL, and GNU FDL licenses
in Texinfo form.  (The master location is

have any node names and structures built into them; for your manual,
you should @code{@@include} them in an appropriate @code{@@node}.

The conventional name for the GPL node is @samp{Copying} and for the FDL
@samp{GNU Free Documentation License}.  The LGPL doesn't seem to have
a conventional node name.

Of course the license texts themselves should not be changed at all.
