Script "mkinstalldirs" used by "make install" but missing? #25

On a fix:
Since I found # Origin: gettext-0.14 in po/Makefile.in.in I tried adding AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.14]) (rather than 0.13 of ticket #20) to configure.in and ran autopoint -f which created file mkinstalldirs (and a few other ones); the full output is
# autopoint -f

Copying file po/Rules-quot
Copying file po/boldquot.sed
Copying file po/en@boldquot.header
Copying file po/en@quot.header
Copying file po/insert-header.sin
Copying file po/quot.sed
Now when I use AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19]) instead (which is still old enough to be in current Debian stable) the output instead is
# autopoint -f

which does not include mkinstalldirs but that's alright since the po/Makefile.in.in produced this time does not rely on file mkinstalldirs any more, but rather reads
mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) @install_sh@ -d
So for a fix we could either:
- a) stick to gettext 0.14, generate missing files and add them to Git
- b) update to gettext 0.19, generate missing files and add them to Git
- c) integrate
autopoint -finto the build system, e.g. intoautogen.sh, remove generated filesABOUT-NLSandpo/Makefile.in.infrom Git. (We could also resolvetouch config.rpathinautogen.shthen, which seems to be a problem too.)
What do you think?
