It seems that I spoke a bit too soon; when I ./configure
--with-included-gettext @INTLDEPS@ is no longer empty.  I have no idea
what effect this will have on compilation.  I just looked in the
manual and saw that it wasn't mentioned anywhere.

Could you try to configure with --with-included-gettext and see what
happens when @INTLDEPS@ is removed?

Are there any CVS wizards who can try to see why @INTLDEPS@ was added?
