Thanks for getting to the root of this. I don't know much about how to
use "gettextize" but I'll try to figure what's needed in the next few
days. I notice that we have in "configure.ac"
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19.4]) so don't know why there is a problem.
(This was changed on 2015-02-22 according to the ChangeLog.) Karl, do
you remember if you ran "gettextize -f -c" when you changed the
version?
