Use
automake --add-missing
It is fairly reasonable not to distribute that file with freeciv, but instead 
require developers to use --add-missing.

This is probably because debian unstable has gettext version 0.10.37-1, ie 
unrelated. Still would be nice to have it fixed :).

Bah, obvious.
I was confused by the fact that all the other imlib stuff was in 
libgtk1.2-dev, and that the links I found in google pointed to gtk too. :(

Another question: when ./configure-ing with my newly generated configure I get

checking for __argz_next... (cached) yes
checking for iconv... (cached) yes
checking for iconv declaration... (cached) 
         extern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, char * *inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, 
char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);
checking for nl_langinfo and CODESET... (cached) yes
checking for LC_MESSAGES... (cached) yes

Why does it print that out? It seems harmless though.

I am using debian unstable too...
