No, *these* are the culprits, as these will eventually lead to GMSGFMT and
MSGFMT in po/Makefile being substituted with 'no'.

This is OK, as it prevents the error if a non existing xgettext is called.

The whole damn mess is, that these autoconf macros were written for the
gettext package and don't actually fit for libintl. And they're even wrong
for the gettext package itself, as an installed binary will be preferred
instead of the one that will get built.

I've just returned from four days at Linuxtag and will have a look at that
stuff next week.
