  Yep, seems like a good idea.  It looks from the discussion that configure
is assuming it can infer the existence of msgfmt from the test for the
existence of gettext, and I guess that's not a valid assumption.  Whether
the solution is to test for msgfmt rather than gettext, or to test for and
require both before enabling nls support, I will leave as an exercise for
the reader....
