It seems that this is intended. The Makefile.in provided by the included
gettext, installs its library and headers only when used from the
project "gettext-tools". It seems that the included gettext is available
for compilation, linking and execution of external applications (like
dar) but not for their installation.

In a way this makes sens, because if you want to install the libintl
(library of gettext) on your system, you must be do it independently of
any other software. Else, if you have several software, using their own
libintl library that install their libintl on the system, one could
overwrite the libintl of another project, leading to versionning problem
if for example an older library has been put in place of a more recent
one, and so on.


Cheers,
Denis.
