You're going to need a newer version of gettext than that: 0.11 is
_really_ old.

You definitely need at least 0.12 and I think you'll really need
0.13.1.

Check out the README.cvs file; there's a quick set of commands there
that will get you from a vanilla CVS checkout to a distributable
tarball.

As I mentioned above, you need a newer version of gettext.

The big problem right now is that getting files added to Savannah is not
so simple anymore after all the cracks.  I'm not sure how snapshots like
that would be published.  I'll ask the GNU folks.
