This error is because the 'intl' lib files are not generated, so configure cannot
find them. This is an error in the tarball, since it should include these files
for systems not having them. The tarball has been made directly from the CVS
tree, which is a mistake (blame on me). I should do a 'make dist' (needs to fix
documentation makefiles as said in the TODO list message), and autoconf/automake
will generate these files to be included (as well as the configure script) in the
tarball

Anyway Simon, I'm sending you a private message with these files.

I'll fix all this for the next release.
