Work-around for bootstrap failure with gettext 0.18.3.1

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

Coreutils' bootstrap script fails (in a freshly cloned directory) with gettext 
0.18.3.1.

This has been discussed few times on the mailing list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-11/msg00038.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2014-01/msg00058.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2014-04/msg00106.html

And already resolved (with recommendation to upgrade to 0.18.3.2):
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40083
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext/+bug/1311895

But version 0.18.3.1 is still "out there" and hasn't been upgraded in several 
distributions.

Would you be receptive to add the following minor work-around for "bootstrap" ?
It creates the two needed files, which allows "autopoint" to continue, then 
"gnulib" immediately overrides them with the correct versions.

Comments are welcomed,

P.S.
So far I have only tested it on Ubuntu 14.04 (with gettext 0.18.3.1) and Debian 
7 (with gettext 0.18.1.1-9).
