configure.ac mentions AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, but not a version. Without it autoreconf will run autopoint, but autopoint won't know what (minimum) version to use to install the support files. Using AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.18.1) seems appropriate, but then autopoint will install extra files under m4. Is that what is intended/needed?
This was introduced with: commit 7316ced8ffc42a1ebbd2313a4be0bdb42bc5b111 Author: Lukas Berk <lberk@redhat.com> Date: Fri Feb 18 11:21:27 2011 -0500 PR3823: Added AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to configure.ac
commit e281908 sets the version to 0.17 (rhel5), not that it made any difference to generated files.
