gettext 0.11 maintainer changes

[Karl Berry]

Not exactly a bug, but I suggest that the NEWS file for gettext mention
that the maintainer now needs to create two new files po/LINGUAS and
po/Makevars, for example:

ls *.po | sed s/.po// >LINGUAS
cp <srcdir>/gettext-0.11/po/Makevars .

Perhaps gettextize should do this, or at least warn if the files are not
present?

And then run automake, autoconf, configure by hand.  Otherwise the build
fails because top_builddir is not defined in po/Makefile, since Makevars
did not get read.


Question: is there a recommended way to keep po/LINGUAS up to date?  Now
that it is determined at make-time instead of being embedded in
configure.ac, it would seem easy to have a Rules-LINGUAS (say) file that
did the above.

So far I haven't had any other compatibility problems.  Thank you :).
