In http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2003-01/msg00014.html
I suggested to omit the error message if there is no po/ directory at
top level. The idea is:
1) If a package doesn't have a directory po/ at top level, it
will likely have multiple po/ directories in subpackages.
2) It is useful to warn for the absence of intl/ if AM_GNU_GETTEXT
is used without 'external'. It is also useful to warn for the
presence of intl/ if AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) is used. Both
warnings apply only to the usual layout of packages, therefore
they should both be disabled if no po/ directory is found at
top level.

This would be a step backward for the common, single-po/ case.
