Hi,
In gettext-0.15.1 a new macro will be added, AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR.
Its effect is to override the first argument of AM_GNU_GETTEXT. Its purpose
is to decouple the specification that gettext is needed from the
specification how it's provided. Needed for gnulib in particular.
I'm proposing a patch for automake to support this macro. It requires a
tiny change in autom4te.

* lib/autom4te.in (Automake-preselections): Add
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR, for automake 1.10.
