Two remarks:
1. There is also the possibility to install autopoint support
with neither git nor cvs: The 3MB archive can be installed
directly. So perhaps this should be better something like
IUSE="autopoint cvs +git"
RDEPEND="autopoint? (
git? ( dev-vcs/git )
!git? ( cvs? ( dev-vcs/cvs ) )
)"
2. Since >=gettext-0.18.1, cvs is no longer support
(but the options git or 3 MB archive still are).
