I should have explained. With the above, the requirement is in only one place: this line of configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18]) rather than both there and in bootstrap's use of the "gettext" module. This way, distros that cannot yet require gettext-0.18 can simply s/18/17/ to make configure.ac do what they want.
