I run "gettextize" in a script with stdin redirected to /dev/null.
Nevertheless, gettextize asks dumb questions *FROM THE TERMINAL*
which, of course, stops the script from running.  I cannot find
any option to disable this misfeature.  Maybe I'm missing it from
the info doc?

Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause autoconfiguration
to look for an external libintl.

<<<Not true:  "external" is specified>>>

Please fill po/POTFILES.in as described in the documentation.

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.9 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

Please remove intl/Makefile from the AC_OUTPUT or AC_CONFIG_FILES invocation
in the configure.ac file.

You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from the CVS
of the 'config' project at http://savannah.gnu.org/. The commands to fetch them
are
$ wget 
'http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess'
$ wget 
'http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub'

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /u/ROOT/usr/local/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

Press Return to acknowledge the previous 6 paragraphs.

Most of that comes from the fact that gnulib-tool hasn't run yet.
I guess I could run it in a subshell and kill it after a while,
but I'd rather it stop on its own.  I can't use autopoint 'cuz it
uses the wrong version of gettext.

Thank you for your help!

Regards, Bruce
