No, you did not run my earlier message: the gettext distribution
contains a cvs _repository_ that is used in local to fetch any old
version of the gettext tools we may want! The idea is that a cvs
repository is a very compact representation of this data. No network
connection is needed.

1/ this is how gettext works now

2/ this allows us to change our (common) gettext version with a
switch.

The other solution (that I can implement if people prefer) would be
for _me_ to run these commands. In this case, I will re-add the
gettext files to tree.
