+Good places to get "support" functions:
+
+`libgnomesupport' is essentially a `glibc' emulation library, and hence
+`glibc' itself is a good source. However, some of the functions cannot
+be easily ripped out and put here (esp. any of the stdio-derived
+functions). Other places are:
+
+* libiberty from your friendly Cygnus source distribution, e.g.,
+ binutils, gdb. The only caveat is that these cannot be used drop-in:
+ you have to remove references to other files in the Cygnus tree &c.
+
+* libit, which appeared briefly on ftp://alpha.gnu.org
+
+* Jim Meyering's collection from his `fileutils'/`sh-utils'/`textutils'
+ packages
