Since it is publicly avail= able forever, storing it there will have no impact that's any different tha= n libdialog or libreadline has has in the past. gnu/ isn't the right place - build infrastructure exists in src/gnu/lib, but the GPL/LGPL source itself lives in contrib/diff and contrib/dialog. Those two are the only remaining GPL/LGPL userland components, and both are on the way out. I suspect the right place for the proposed library's build infrastructure is beside the tests that will use it.
