Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #39970] fix gettext error during autoreconf

[h . g . muller]

I don't think this patch would improve matters in general. It just means
that people that have gettext 0.17 installed now would get that same error
message.

In particular, it would mean I can no longer build XBoard myself.

I thought at some point we were notified that this had something to do
with configure forgetting to check some subdirectory (m4?), but I forgot
the details (because I did not understand any of it), and I cannot find
the relavant email.
