For me this patch appears okay.
The only thing we ought to check is the documentation. I have had a look
at the web pages (especially the install tree, which becomes the INSTALL
subdirectory in distributions) and there no changes are required.

Just an idea: We could save LANGUAGES during configure and then, during
bootstrap for example, verify that
o LANGUAGES is not set; or
o LANGUAGES is set to the same value as during configure
and print a warning else.
