Hi,

When all you want are the m4 macros for using libiconv, then gettextize and
autopoint are overkill. In particular you don't need a 'po' directory for
this. All you need are the macro files

       iconv.m4
       lib-ld.m4
       lib-link.m4
       lib-prefix.m4

Whether you take them out of the gettext source distribution, or from
$prefix/share/aclocal/ where gettext installs them, is irrelevant.
