We are using SVN. That I also have CVS installed is only "an accident", I just
didn't delete it yet.
The gettext version I requested (via ...GETTEXT_VERSION) was allready lowered
so they should get no problems with having to update. I didn't know that
autopoint wants to get it's data from a CVSed archive, no matter whether the
installed version matches or not.
