[Pan-users] autogen.sh

[Rhialto]

Speaking of source versions, I was about to re-build Pan after my
quarterly mega-software-cleanup-and-update. autogen.sh reminds me that I
have to re-install libtool, automake, autoconf, and intltool, but
apparently there is still something missing regarding "AM_NLS". That
wasn't there apparently some months ago, when I last went through this.

Here are some fragments of what I see:

Please add the files
  codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
  progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

Lines 44 and 45 of configure.in read

dnl AC_PROG_INTLTOOL([0.31],[no-xml])
IT_PROG_INTLTOOL([0.35.5],[no-xml])

Strangely enough, now that I try re-running autogen.sh, the missing
AM_NLS seems to be considered a fatal error, and processing stops.

What am I missing? Is it something autogen.sh can check for?
Strangely enough, running gmake as if nothing strange happened, seems to
result in a binary, which even appears to work...
