Sorry, my misunderstanding then.

I honestly don't know.  All I can tell is that my Gettext 0.11.5
macros are aclocal-visible here.  What --prefix did you give?  What
does make -n install give in gettext/m4?

| Works great, thanks Akim.

Thanks for testing :)

| Yes, I find that behavior of Emacs VC mode annoying as well.  If it
| thinks the file is CVS-controlled it won't keep simple backups :(.

Aaah!  Thanks for explaining, I didn't know what it was.


Could someone install the patch please?
