Re: Adding I18N support to ATK

Malcolm,

I have found this very useful and found a number of errors in what I had done 
for ATK.

I have a few comments below.

When I ran this command I did not generate any html files. I tried the command 
xsltproc i18n-guide.xml and I created some html files.

In section 2.1. you mention ".. you may want to skip ahead to the section about 
library markup requirements to find out the couple of lines that need to be 
changed here.

I am not sure what section and what lines you are referring to here. Do you mean 
section 2.2.1?

Is adding intl*.in to EXTRA_DIST necessary?

I found the section Changes to autogen.sh confusing as atk was copied originally 
from gtk+.

I created the file acinclude.m4 (based on gtk+ version) and added code to 
autogen.sh to refer to glib-2.0.m4 and glib-gettext.m4 (again based on gtk+).

I also found that if I commented out the line AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT in 
configure.in, the makefile was not generated in the po directory.
