Hello all,

I am co-maintainer of the linuxfromscratch.org-project and got annoyed
of a problem we have with gettext for a while now.

When installing gettext-0.10.35 the following way:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
        make &&
        make install

There always is a new file created in /: /po-mode.el.

At the moment we 
        mv /po-mode.el /usr/share/gettext
the file afterwards, but I think this is a workaround that should not be
necessary.

As far as I understand the description, po-mode.el is used to edit
po-files in emacs. We don't have emacs on our system (though others
might install it) so this file is not really necessary and could be
deleted, correct?

Anyway - that would be a workaround too - the real question should be:
Why is it installed anyway? 

Greetings from Muenster/Germany

PS: perhaps there is a ./configure-switch we didn't notice yet?
PPS: Please also reply to me personally - not only to the list.
