The gnulib 'gettext' module is a substitute for part of what 'gettextize' or
'autopoint' installs. Since I see [1] that bison omits Makefile.in.in from
the git repository, if you use the 'gettext' module, you should also ensure
that you copy the files from gnulib/build-aux/po/* into po/ and runtime-po/,
using "gnulib-tool --copy-file". You will then also have to invoke
'autoreconf' with AUTOPOINT=':', so that autopoint is not run.
It is simpler to rely on what the 'bootstrap' script does by default.
Like coreutils and m4 do.

When you choose from the list of gnulib modules [2], I don't understand
what you mean by "significant"? Either you need a certain module, based
on its description, or not. Can you rephrase the question?
