Updates for install.texi and extend.texi



I've checked in the following changes to install.texi and extend.texi. The
install.texi changes reflect the changes in the NLS handling and the
extend.texi patch fixes a typo.

2000-07-28  Philipp Thomas  <pthomas@suse.de>

	* install.texi (--enable-nls): Change the description of the NLS
	related configure options to match the current state.
	(--with-included-gettext): Likewise.
	(--enable-maintainer-mode): New description added.
	* extend.texi (-fstrict-prototype): Add missing '.'.
