This sounds like a worthy goal, but it'll have to be done all at once,
since it touches just about every source file.

But then, I've never actually used gettext myself. ;-)

1.8 may be better, because this is an extensive change (as you mention).

I didn't see any code to check for both --with-xaw and --with-gtk.
Aren't they mutually exclusive?  It needs a sanity check.

I'm still new to autoconf/automake.  Your patch shows a *huge* change
to aclocal.m4.  Is the current aclocal.m4 something that's automatically
generated, or is it a file that was customized?  It *looks* like it's
auto-generated; I don't see anything specific to Freeciv in it.
