Okay, I'll go figure out how to do that.
BTW, there's an additional problem -- gettext.m4 doesn't set
BUILD_INCLUDED_GETTEXT or USE_INCLUDED_GETTEXT (to 'no') when 'external'
is specified; the variables are left unspec'ed. **probably** not a
problem -- unless you gettextize in order to work around the automake
bug, like I did <g> -- in which case your project's build will fail
trying to make 'all-@BUILD_INCLUDED_GETTEXT@' in the "unused" intl/
directory...
But, that's a gettext problem for Bruno to fix.
