Okay, thanks, this indeed was a problem.  I was using gettext-0.10,
which did not include, as far as I can tell, "gettext.m4".  I have
just installed gettext-0.10.35, which fixed that problem.

However, it appears the problem causing most of the errors was the
lack of the "macros" directory.  It doesn't exist in mc-cvs.  By
creating that directory, ./configure ran most of the way through.

The next error is probably due to mc-cvs relying on something more
recent than what I have:

    ./configure: GNOME_VFS_CHECKS: not found
    ./configure: test: argument expected

I pulled gnome-vfs.m4 from libgtop-cvs into mc/macros, but now I get
the following:

    ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_STRUCT_LINGER

Should I be using an autoconf more recent than 2.13?
