Wow, and I thought there were only minor problems atm. :)
OK - libtool isn't used. I suggest you try again with a *really* clean
checkout, i.e. without any of the autogenerated auto* stuff.

For a while I was using the auto tools/gettext that come with Fedora
Core 1, whatever they were (autoconf-2.5?, automake 1.7, gettext 0.12.1
I think). A while back I took the Rawhide stuff (autoconf-2.59, automake
1.8, gettext 0.14.1).
