+ git-version-gen: avoid test -z portability glitch
+ * build-aux/git-version-gen: Prefer portable test spelling, since
+ git-version-gen is run on more than just developer machines.
+

+
+ git-version-gen: add --fallback option to use if git is not present

+ #undef before defining.
+
+ regex: port to hosts where malloc (0) == NULL
+ Reported by Aharon Robbins in
+ <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00456.html>.

+ * lib/regcomp.c (init_word_char): Declaration before statement.
+
+ regex: merge glibc changes
+ Also, copy the license wording from glibc. This simplifies
+ merging changes. gnulib-tool will change the wording to GPL as
+ appropriate, when importing it to other packages. The only
+ glibc change made since the last merge, which needs merging, is:
+ 2012-05-24 Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>

+
* users.txt: Add Emacs.
