Revised patch from #92581 and #99671

OK, I updated patch. Please review the patch.

> glib2 does not include files from glib2-devel.

Do you mean dogtail does not use glib2-devel if my patch is not applied?
I applied it at the moment but actually I have been thinking the patch will be
applied when the maitainer resolves the build issue.

> where it fails with some AM_ macro undefined. 

Which macro is not defined? it maybe automake/autoconf is old.

> not RPM_BUILD_ROOT.

Does your .spec file has "BuildRoot: " in the header?

/usr/lib/rpm/macros:

#       Configurable build root path, same as BuildRoot: in a specfile.
#       (Note: the configured macro value will override the spec file value).
#
#%buildroot

> Have you tried it in some linux ?

Yes, the patch works fine with RHEL4 and Fedora 7.

> Could you be more specific ?
 - gettext.install does not work GUI translation.
 - bindtextdomain needs to set the locale dir.
 - Some of .py loose '_' macro. It causes execution errors.
 - The single quotation does not work with intltool which is used by many
translators.
 - gnome.ui needs to be loaded.

> just as the whole autotools and gettext. How can i expect xgettext to get .pot files when it doesn't recognize python syntax ?

Yes, I put the sniff and dogtail-recorder is saved in POTFILES.in at the moment
however I think that finally we need to renamed sniff to sniff.py in the source
files so that intltool-update can detect the file.

> Unfortunately python's support for i18n isn't all-star either.
I think when the python official package is available, the option is
considered. At the moment, none python intltool is available and it's used by
several python applications, gnome-menus, orca and etc.
