Re: gettext cvs

Hello Charles,

Welcome! I do still have your mail and patch from 2005-11-27, but I'm
wondering which parts of the patch are still needed after we discussed
the first round in four or five parallel threads.

I now made a 0.15-pre2 tarball for you. At
http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/gettext-0.15-pre2.tar.gz

I underestimated the bootstrapping hassle for creating a 0.15 tarball.
Now I did it; I had to temporarily set the version number to 0.15,
exclude the examples directory from the build, make a tarball, use it to update
gettext-tools/misc/archive.tar.gz, then do a "make install", then add back the
examples directory, and then I was able to regenerate the missing .po files.
Wheew!
