Anyone object in principle to dropping the gettext requirement

back to 2.8? John, I think you probably have the strongest
feelings about this, so please let us know. (I have not looked
at Ed's patch yet, so I'm not asking for comments on how he tried
to do these things, only on the proposal to do so somehow.)How about we do this: By default, the dependency requirements stay as they are. But we add a switch to ./configure; let's call it --allow-old-deps which turns off, or relaxes the dependency checking. And we add a Caveat Emptor entry to the release notes. This way, I think the necessary changes to configure.ac etc will be minimal, and a lot easier to maintain.
