But, you asked for with AM_GNU_GETTEXT. AFAIR, the files are all limited to the po/ directory, and they're all used either by AM_GNU_GETTEXT or po/Makefile.in.in. The only issue with upgrading from previous versions of po/Makefile.in.in is that you have to create po/Makevars, which you can do once and for all with sed 's,^MSGID_BUGS_ADDRESS =,& [EMAIL PROTECTED],' < po/Makevars.template > po/Makevars You can check in po/Makevars into the CVS repository. - Hari -- Raja R Harinath ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
