I note that the civserver target in server/Makefile.am explicitly
lists @INTLDEPS@ as a dependency.  I'm unsure as to why this is done,
since the gettext manual (version 0.10.35, which is what I have access
to) doesn't mention this being necessary in any of the pertinent
sections.  Moreover, it seems to expand to the empty string under
0.10.35, so I wonder why it was added in the first place.

In general, I think it might be a good idea to review the way we use
gettext soon.  There seem to be a lot of strange add-ons and
irregularities when compared to what the manual advises.
