Of course it does. However, it looks like Samuel ran `make configure`
which is trying to run the `bootstrap` script, which since
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27823 calls gettextize, but some of
the uses of gettextize are not properly quoted.

However, it looks like the gettext-devel package is not installed on
his Cygwin, and it happens to be finding a gettextize that was
including in Git for Windows which was also on his path.  This is
clearly no good.

gettextize-devel should be added to the list of packages to install I
guess (the default instructions assume you don't have autotools and
all and will just download the configure tarball...)
