I began to test it, and seem to have problems with 'make distcheck'
because configure is re-run without any of the special flags that are
needed here for compilation to succeed. But once I discovered the
magic DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable, everything went smoothly. It
even seems that we can get rid of the xgettext hack that we had in
configure.ac. 

However, the new code requires xgettext 0.12.1, and all I have on rh9
is 0.11.4. As a consequence (?), all the po files are updated to
remove all references to .[Ch] files, which is unfortunate. I'll try
to reintroduce my configure.ac trick and see whether it improves the
situation.

BTW, I have the following patch in my tree for some time, and it seems
that it is necessary for automake 1.6.3 (because there is no
Makefile.am in m4/).
