That's all correct.

Do you really need intl/ ?  While it was useful 5 years ago, I can no
longer see the need to distribute libintl with every package.  On
GNU/Linux systems, it's part of glibc, and on BSD systems, it's part
of the ports (IIRC).  As a result, the majority of your userbase
already have it; those that don't can simply download and install
gettext themselves.  To prevent it being installed, I use

AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.14.5])
AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external])
