Not entirely true. I do have gettext on my machine, but the
gettext.m4 macro for aclocal is not present in that package. Neither
is it in the gettext diff in hamm. I did find it on the net.
It passes those problems and find a new one:
aclocal: configure.in: 93: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in library
Isn't it odd that dpkg doesn't already have a configure script?
Aren't these problems exactly the reason why we have configure
scripts?
