If only it were that simple. As I said in my last mail, the problem was
making intltool work with gettext-0.12.1 and recent automakes. This is
not some feature that was removed between 0.27.2 and the latest CVS
version (0.28). It was not there in the first place.

I am, in fact, using intltool code that is not even in CVS yet (but some
variation of it should get in without problems), because of this bugfix.
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127936 for the details and
the patch.

In case you are worried, there is no problems with using unreleased
intltool versions in production code -- the required intltool scripts
are shipped as part of the scrollkeeper tarball. Intltool was designed
like that; people building from tarballs do not need intltool installed
(the same as with automake and autoconf). One of the bugs that was fixed
in the scrollkeeper-0.3.13 was removing a mistaken test that required
tarball builders to have intltool installed externally.

Cheers,
