A possibly silly question that I cannot work out from the source code...

if a package (I am particularly thinking of gnumeric) requires
intltool-0.27 because of the UTF-8 strings, does this also require
gettext-0.12? If so, then intltool needs to complain more, since it
currently seems to quietly fall back to some older behaviour with older
gettexts and this may cause trouble down the line.

Any enlightenment greatly appreciated,
