gettext 0.18 grumbles

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I just updated gnulib in libguestfs.  This pulls in gettext 0.18 -- I
don't directly depend on the gettext module in gnulib, but doubtless
it's being pulled in as a dependency of something.

There's no gettext 0.18 in Fedora, even in Rawhide, and it seems
non-trivial to build.  My workaround has been to manually replace
gettext.m4 and po.m4 with the ones from gettext 0.17.

It'd be good if gnulib didn't replace gettext, or if gettext was not
insane and just worked like a regular library.

Rich.
