Ouch.  With this patch, a fresh bootstrap grabs ulonglong.m4 serial 5 from 
gnulib (needed to workaround a bug in autoconf 2.60), then autoreconf (in 
particular autopoint pulling from gettext 0.14.1) wipes it out with the older 
serial 3.  Even updating configure.ac AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to pull from 
gettext 0.14.5 is not enough.  Until Bruno releases gettext 0.15 (which he has 
promised real soon now), we will either have to rerun gnulib-tool --update 
after autoreconf --install to undo the obsolete gettext 0.14 .m4 macros, or 
depend on CVS gettext.

Preferences?
