gettextize is an interactive script which *heavily* modifies the
source files and requires maintainer attention. In particular, dealing
with the seven extra *.m4 files must be done by the maintainer.

For this reason, it is inappropriate to call gettextize from a script
like autogen.

You can make a backup of po/ChangeLog and restore it afterwards, if
you absolutely insist on running gettextize an infinite number of
times..
