Hello GNU gettext maintainers,

I noticed that gettext.m4 in HEAD appears to hardcode the user's translations
directory to po/:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=m4/gettext.m4;h=0675885e059ff48a8880af5a35806a5f252414d7;hb=HEAD#l348

I am not an expert in M4, but I would imagine this should be relatively easy
to fix with something akin to:

if test -z "$POSUB"; then
    POSUB=po/
fi

The user would then set in their configure.ac POSUB to whatever they want
before declaring the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro?

Kip
