The gnulib manual recomend against that so I didn't consider it: Avoiding to use `gettextize' (manually, as package maintainer) or `autopoint' (as part of a script like `autoreconf' or `autogen.sh') is not the solution: These programs also import the infrastructure in the `po/' and optionally in the `intl/' directory. Trying it, autoreconf (automake) complains about missing ABOUT-NLS: configure.ac:55: required file `./ABOUT-NLS' not found I don't see that file in gnulib. So it doesn't seem to work. /Simon
