Sam, do you see any problem with making this so?

No. This is needed when building Courier from CVS.

When you checkout the entire module from CVS, you get the pcp/m4 subdirectory. CVS does not include all the stuff that gets autogenerated by autoconf, automake, and libtool. The autobloat.sh script at the top of the source tree recursively runs autotools on the entire tree, and aclocal gets invoked along the way, with the -I m4 parameter. You need the parameter to rebuild the configure scripts and the makefiles.

None of this happens when you take the packaged tarball, and run the configure script. The problem is that, for some reason, the Gentoo build tries to rebuild the configure script and the makefile. Can't do it, without the extra m4 subdirectory from CVS.

There are two solutions: do not run autotools. Or, run 'gettextize -f --intl' in the pcp directory. The stuff in the m4 subdirectory gets installed by gettext.
