I'm talking about just this part of that change:

--- configure.ac        8 Nov 2007 21:43:26 -0000       1.39
+++ configure.ac        14 Dec 2007 20:06:32 -0000      1.40

 GP_GETTEXT_FLAGS()

What happens if you revert that version to 0.14.1 but keep the remainder of
the patch (removing po/Makefile.in)?  Will that work on all gettext versions
since 0.14.1?
