The @command{gnulib-tool} command is the recommended way to import
Gnulib modules. It is possible to borrow Gnulib modules in a package
without using @command{gnulib-tool}, relying only on the
-metainformation stored in the @file{modules/*} files, but with a
+meta-information stored in the @file{modules/*} files, but with a
growing number of modules this becomes tedious. @command{gnulib-tool}
simplifies the management of source files, @file{Makefile.am}s and
@file{configure.ac} in packages incorporating Gnulib modules.
Some Gnulib modules depend on other Gnulib modules. @code{gnulib-tool}
will automatically add the needed modules as well; you need not list
-them explicitly. @code{gnulib-tool} will also memoize which dependent

modules it has added, so that when someday a dependency is dropped, the
implicitly added module is dropped as well (unless you have explicitly
requested that module).

+If you want to cut a dependency, i.e., not add a module although one of
your requested modules depends on it, you may use the option
@samp{--avoid=@var{module}} to do so. Multiple uses of this option are
possible. Of course, you will then need to implement the same interface
