configure works with or without gettext if you have the complete sources,
as distributed in snapshots and releases.  If you want to use CVS, then
you should have the tools required to create files that are distributed,
but not kept on CVS.

If you want to use CVS, then get those tools.  If you cannot do it, then
explain the reason.  You may also need to contact the developers or those
packages if you believe that the problem is generic and should be
addressed by them.

In particular, if you want the build system to work without intl
directory, then you are asking in a wrong forum.  I don't want to override
the default procedure for internationalization, which requires
distributing the intl directory, unless somebody explains me why this is
needed for this particular project.  If you disagree with the default,
talk to gettext developers.

You also can write your own version of autogen.sh and run it rather than
the one from CVS.  autogen.sh plays an important part on the release
process, and I don't want to make it tolerant to the defects in the build
enviroment, unless you provide strong reasons for that.
