[RFC] a script to update our gnulib import...

Hi Pedro,

Yeah, I had noticed that, which is where I started from...

OK. I will also look at Alfred's suggestion (Alfred: to answer your
question, I just don't know enough about gnulib, and the documentation
still still quite sketchy - plus, we don't use automake in GDB, so
that adds an extra layer of interpretation).
