You need to use the autogen.sh script only when you are building from the CVS;
in a release tarball all autoconf infrastructure is already generated.

If you want to regenerate it nevertheless, you need a copy of gnulib from
approximately the date of the gettext release:
   gettext-0.16    2006-10-27
   gettext-0.16.1  2006-11-28
You can use the cvs option "cvs update -D20061027 -dP" to update your gnulib
checkout accordingly.

Or, more simply, skip the first part of autogen.sh, that accesses gnulib, and
instead rely on the files that were shipped in the release.
