I can't reproduce this here because the files ABOUT-NLS, ChangeLog
and some more are already existing... "darcs diff -u" isn't working for
you, is it? That'd be the most simple way to get a hopefully working
patch.

That didn't keep me from applying it, however.
But it seems Autotools is making trouble.

What versions of aclocal, automake and autoconf do you have?
