We should document the required minimum version somewhere.

Why is plural.c in CVS?  Bison-generated files shouldn't be, they should
only be in release tarballs.  (In this case, we'd need to ensure that the
release-building process generates plural.c, even when run on systems that
don't use the intl directory because current libintl is in libc.)
