and i didn't say you did, did i ?  you said the replacement in this particular 
case is fairly simple, but that's the problem with these things -- they always 
starts as simple one-offs for specific targets.  having worked on many projects 
that took varying amounts of such one-offs (including mkdir redirects), gnulib 
is really the only sane answer.  it takes all the worry off our shoulders.
