Re: Problem with intltool 0.40.0?

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

David:

So what does this mean?  Should all GNOME modules fix their top-level
Makefile.am files, manpages, and other docs that refer to the need to
add these generated files to EXTRA_DIST?  Or do we just not work with
the latest intltool 0.40.0 for now until this issue gets fixed in
intltool?

Should this change be coordinated?  I assume that once this change
happens that we won't support building on systems with older intltool.
Kind of a drag.
