The gettext manual says this about AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION:
The use of this macro is optional; only the `autopoint'
program makes use of it (*note CVS Issues::).However, the autoreconf program will warn if AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION is omitted (if AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used). Is it really optional or not, and if so then why warn about its lack? -- "A computer is a state machine. Threads are for people who cant [sic] program state machines." --Alan Cox
