This is an inconsistent testcase: You declare that there is an 'intl'
subdir but it is not there.

In this case gettextize sees that there is no 'intl' directory and
proceeds to add support for it in configure.in and Makefile.am -
assuming a consistent starting situation.

Same thing here: If the config.rpath already exists as a file in
auxdir, then gettextize will not add it to the top level Makefile.am.
So again what you observe is a consequence of an inconsistent source
package.
