I have applied the patch and it looks okay.
I just had one little problem. The config.h.in is now empty.

In my configuration, I need a line "#undef FOO" in config.h.in if I
want the final config.h to have "#define FOO"  as the result of an
AC_DEFINE(FOO) being added to configure.ac.

Otherwise, the AC_DEFINE(FOO) just results in a noop. The net effect
is that I end up with an empty config.h .

So I would not ditch that config.h.in, but rather add a "#undef
GETTEXT_PACKAGE".
Maybe I am screwing something up here. Please, just let me know.

That being said, you can just go ahead an commit :-) We will fix
things that need further fixing, if any.

Well, it's okay to me. I also have intltool 0.35. I am running debian testing.

Thank you very much.
