I would say:
0. Install gettext 0.18.1 on the machine on which you build the releases,
   and write AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18.1]) in your configure.ac.
1. call autopoint
2. call gnulib-tool --import
3. call "AUTOPOINT=true autoreconf ..."

Step 0 is necessary because gnulib does not guarantee interoperability with
older gettext releases (due to overlap of .m4 files).

Step 1 installs the .m4 files from gettext.

Step 2 overwrites them with the most recent but compatible versions.

Step 3 generates all further autogenerated files.
