gettext cvs

[Charles Wilson]

I've been trying to get cvs gettext to compile on cygwin.  While I've 
needed to make a few changes[*] to do so, I'm stuck at 'make install'.

I get the following error in <build_dir>/gettext-tools/examples:

*** No rule to make target `hello-c/po/af.po', needed by 
`install-data-local'.  Stop.


Now, unlike the 0.14.5 dist tarball, gettext-tools/examples/*/po/ is 
almost empty -- no .po files.  What magic incantation is necessary to 
convince the build process to generate these files?

I tried, on a lark, to do a 'make dist' -- which at least attempts to 
create these .po files.  But that also failed because
  (1) it requires the *installed* autopoint to support 0.15
  (2) even if you install the cvs autopoint, it only claims to support 
up to 0.14.5.
  (3) If you modify it to "support" 0.15, it fails because there is no 
0.l5 tag
  (4) if you then modify it to "support" 0.15-pre0 (e.g. its own 
version) and also modify the example/*/configure.ac scripts to 
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE(0.15-pre) that ALSO fails, because there is no 
0.15-pre0 tag.

Help?  Is cvs-gettext just broken?  If so, when was the last-known-good 
date?
