The info page says to have po/Makefile.in in AC_OUTPUT.  No mention of
po/Makefile

I looked at po/Makefile in a build directory that still works.  It
has this:

        Makefile: Makefile.in.in ../config.status POTFILES
                cd .. \
                          && CONFIG_FILES=$(subdir)/address@hidden 
CONFIG_HEADERS= \
                                         $(SHELL) ./config.status

It's very funky that it doesn't depend on Makefile.in.

I think the problem is: I just got a new version of gettext, 10.0.38
because the old one was screwing up the .po files.  It turns out
that 0.10.38 is an alpha version (why doesn't it make this clear?!)

Anyway, the new one silently broke on us.  (Silently, because in my
build directory, it still works, because the old Makefile still
exists)

So, I guess the only option is to go back to 0.10.35, and continue to
mangle the .po's.

Anyway, I still have no idea why po/Makefile isn't getting generated.
I ran aclocal, etc.  That said, I have no idea how config.sub gets
generated... I'll investigate a bit more later (although I'd be happy
to get some answer first ;)
