Copy a .po file into place also when the target doesn't exist.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): ... not just when the checksum differs.
So now, if I manually remove po/xx.po, rerunning bootstrap will
copy the latest into place.

Make my-distcheck depend on "check".
* Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Also depend on "check", so I can't tag
and release something that fails "make check" (however harmless) when
run in a checked-out-from-git dir, but not in the distributed tarball.

Remove just-installed su, if unable to make it set-UID root.
Normally, su isn't even installed. However, if you configure with
--enable-install-program=su, and then install with insufficient
privileges, we now make sure to remove the just-installed binary.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Rename from install-exec-local,
so that this rule is guaranteed to be run *after* installation.
If unable to chown and chmod the installed "su" program, remove it.

Be extra careful to quote $abs_top_builddir-derived names.

Use it to quote file names derived from $abs_top_builddir,

needed, since CuTmpdir detects the fishy name and skips the test.
But it's important enough to add the extra protection.
