+Gnulib, the GNU portability library, offers a macro system and C
+declarations and definitions for commonly-used API elements and
+abstracted system behaviors. It can be used to improve portability and
+other functionality in your programs. 
+
+Gnulib takes a different approach than libiberty. Gnulib components are
+intended to be shared at the source level, rather than being a library that
+gets built, installed, and linked against. Thus, there is no distribution
+tarball; the idea is to copy files from Gnulib into your own source tree.
+
+However, there are bimonthly stable snapshots of the Gnulib codebase
+published at http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/
