The thing is new configure checks were added that `AC_DEFINE' various
new CPP variables.  For some reason, when `configure' is automatically
re-created from the Makefile rules, the header template (i.e.,
`config.in') is not re-created, so we end up with missing `#define's.
It actually looks like an Autoconf/Automake bug.

Usually, `make' should be enough.  Sometimes, `autoheader' right before
`make' can be helpful.  :-)

The new i18n code should compile and work fine on GNU/Linux (which is
what most of us use).  There *could* be problems on other systems,
although we haven't had any such reports in a while.

Thanks,
