Now most packages no longer ship Gettext, which is big.  It also
usually makes the maintenance easier.  Plus, it makes the package more
robust:

~/src/flex-2.5.22.2 % make pdf                                   nostromo 10:27
Making pdf in intl
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/akim/src/flex-2.5.22.2/intl'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `pdf'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/akim/src/flex-2.5.22.2/intl'
make: *** [pdf-recursive] Error 1

this is really a problem because intl/ is not handled by Automake :(


I suggest removing intl/, and using only ``external'' Gettext.  Bison
can provide you with an example.  I can provide you with a patch.
