I have seen that too. These problems appear because:
1. gettextize modifies source files as it sees fit. This is fixed in 
glib-gettextize - but glib-textextize is only available in glib-2. You 
could downgrade gettext to avoid partially these problems.

2. macros/autogen.sh requires automake-1.4 but will runn never if 
available - and choke itself to death. patches to this file used not to 
be eagerily accepted since this directory is/was shared between many/
all GNOME projects.

2. why don't you use the tarball? There is nothing going on in 1-4 
branch and the tarball does not require proper automake setup.

gettextize strikes again.

I would like to help you more but well, I have got too many my own 
itches to scratch..
