Yes I know this. Currently I'm using this parch without remove

I have another thing.
Look at http://cvs.pld.org.pl/SOURCES/gettext-gettext.m4-fix.patch?rev=1.2
This patch is against 0.10.37. This patch reverts to situation from
0.10.35. Without this isn't correctly generated files from *.in files.

Thanks.
