The following are done:
- Merge changes from glibc CVS, but keep the copyright as GPL. - Merge iconv support. - Deal with the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am differently. The following is obsolete: - Should gettext.alias be distributed? - It has been removed. New plans: - Stop documenting AM_WITH_NLS. AM_GNU_GETTEXT is the right macro to use. - Unify intlh.inst.in and libgettext.h. - Build also libintl.so, using libtool. - Check the *.m4 macros with bleeding-edge autoconf & automake.
