Good question.

I'd say, if the package has a po/ directory, then running gettextize
is needed. Without running gettextize, you would combine the gettext.m4
macro from the new release with the po/Makefile.in.in from the previous
release, and _this_does_not_work_.

If all you use are the *.m4 macros and an AM_GNU_GETTEXT invocation, I'd
think / estimate that running "gnulib-tool --update" is all you need.
