gnulib - GNU portability library - Summary
This project is part of the GNU Project.
Gnulib is intended to be the canonical source for most of the important "portability" and/or common files for GNU projects. These are files intended to be shared at the source level; Gnulib is not a library meant to be installed and linked against.
While portability across operating systems is not one of GNU's primary goals, it has helped introduce many people to the GNU system, and is worthwhile when it can be achieved at a low cost. This collection helps lower that cost.
There is no distribution tarball; developers should just grab source files from the repository. Please see <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/> for more details.
