It's a bit annoying to see intltool changing fundamentally multiple 
times recently, without a crystal-clear announcement of the changes. I 
assume that if modules, which put the EXTRA_DIST stuff into their 
Makefiles.am already, will break now at packaging time, since the 
OrigTree.pm isn't found anymore. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Neverthless, it would be nice if the maintainers of intltool would send 
 an up-to-date statusreport to the d-d-l mailing list what has changed 
and how modules must be changed again (or not).
