Looks fine to me, thanks.

What confuses me is that this paragraph starts with the phrase

It does not need any modifications made, unless you need to run
another tool before configure, or do not use one of glib-
gettextize,
gtkdocize or intltoolize. (Note that you should not use both
glib-gettextize and intltoolize in the same module, and it is
better
to use neither; see the FAQ entry below for details.)

It might be more helpful to provide a autogen.sh listing that
omits both
glib-gettextize and intltoolize and then add a paragraph
explaining to
add these for project that use either of these tools. If I
understand
right both a deprecated anyway and should not be needed for
state-of-the-art projects.

Maybe write something like this:

If you are still using the deprecated glib-gettextize, then add
the following line immediately before
autoreconf:

    glib-gettextize --force --copy || exit 1

If you are still using the almost obsolete intltoolize, then add
the following line immediately before
autoreconf:

    intltoolize --force --copy --automake || exit 1

Those look like good changes, indeed. Feel free to update the wiki.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.

It does everything we need, and meets all the standards (like
build-
api). If you’ve got improvements to make, please make them on
that
page.

Sebastian: the paragraph immediately above the example does say
that
you should remove one or both of the intltoolize/glib-
gettextize calls
as appropriate.
