Moving aside gnulib/import/, and re-running our
gnulib/update-gnulib.sh script, surprisingly, one gets a different
result compared to what's in the tree. This is with pristine FSF
autoconf and FSF automake, at the versions required by
update-gnulib.sh. However, if one just runs the update-gnulib.sh
scripts against the _existing_ tree, then nothing changes... I
suspect gnulib-tool's merge logic might be preserving some things by
design. This gets rid of cruft that might have accumulated over
gnulib updates. onceonly.m4 seems to fit in that category.
