I think this is a good idea. I've had problems with intl/ directories with libraries on some platforms, and Bruno recommended to use [external] and ask users to install gettext if they care about i18n. I've followed that route and haven't looked back. /Simon _______________________________________________ Bug-mailutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-mailutils
