GNU cmp exits without reading all input when given the -s option,
and that can cause termination of the writing process via SIGPIPE.
Instead, when reading from a pipe, just redirect output to /dev/null
so that all input is read.
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710>
* README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as
as optional requirements rather than in their own sections.
Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions.
* README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions
for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes
for Fedora linux.
* bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required.
* bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools,
and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
* bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): This preserves line numbering
e.g., in assertions, which is important when correlating between
coreutils test failures and the original files in gnulib/tests.
Suggested by Eric Blake.
* bootstrap: Make the gnulib-tests/test-*.sh scripts executable.
This restores code removed by dec8bb25bb.
Reported by Bob Proulx.

* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
copy the latest into place.

* bootstrap: After all is done, transform the generated gnulib-tests/gnulib.mk.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set it here.
* gnulib-tests/Makefile.am: New file.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add gnulib-tests/Makefile.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS) [ARGMATCH_DIE_DECL]: Omit the
"extern " prefix to "void usage ()", so that the macro string value can
be used to construct a function definition in gnulib's test-argmatch.c.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add a space before the use
of $gnulib_tool_option_extras, so that it's separated from the
preceding argument.

* bootstrap (po_download_command_format): New global.
(download_po_files): Use rsync.
(update_po_files): Don't remove .po files after download,
so future rsync runs can take advantage of the copies.
* bootstrap (download_po_files): New function, renamed from
get_translations. Now, downloads, but doesn't update LINGUAS.
(update_po_files): New function.
* bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Add a directory name like
uniwidth to e.g., lib/.gitignore.
(slurp): Handle the sys_stat_.h -> sys mapping, too.
* .hgignore: Remove this file, too.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .gitignore and .hgignore.
This is in preparation for my removing those files from version
control in the directories managed by gnulib-tool.
* bootstrap: New setting: vc_ignore.
(insert_sorted_if_absent): Create $file if absent.
Adapt to new, possibly empty, list: $vc_ignore.
* bootstrap (slurp): Don't test for existence of $copied,
which is usually a newline-separated list of file names.
When generating ignorable names, also map .sin to .sed,
.gperf to .c, and .y to .c.
to "ls -A". Put in a FIXME, though, since the current code does
not slurp files whose names start with ".", and this looks like
it might be a troublesome area.
* bootstrap (symlink_to_dir): Rename function from symlink_to_gnulib.
Add a directory parameter. Update all callers.
(cp_mark_as_generated): Also check for -- and link to -- files in gl/.
* README-hacking: Build-from-checkout now require Perl, too.
* bootstrap: Now that these generated Makefile.am files are no longer
under version control, they must be created at bootstrap time.
