AFAIK examples/loadables/Makefile.in already defines INTL_INC = @INTL_INC@,
so it seems to me that configure merely needs to set that to either
INTL_SRCDIR (if supplied) or INTL_LIBDIR (if built), or to whatever
external version is being used.

I assume you mean third-party loadables, right? None of the examples use

My option-handling revamp includes a new example loadable that does use
gettext, for the help text that accompanies a shopt/set-o option that is
defined by the loadable. (Since this would be a new capability, it seemed
like a good idea to demonstrate it.)
