[pull,request] Pull request for branch gettext-rework

Hello,

Here is a set of patches that builds on top of the work from Maxime
Ripard and Samuel Martin to clean up how gettext is handled, and in
the end migrate the gettext package to the autotools-package
infrastructure.

Compared to Samuel last posting, I've splitted the work into more
patches to ease the review process:

 * The first patch removes the possibility of building gettext
   statically.

 * The second patch removes the gettext-target make target, which was
   never used anywhere.

 * The third patch removes the separation between gettext and libintl
   targets. Now, there is only a 'gettext' target, which installs just
   the necessary libraries in the target (identical to what libintl
   was doing previously). This patch breaks the build for many
   packages, but was kept separate to make the review easier.

 * The fourth patch adjusts all the packages that add a dependency on
   libintl, and use instead a dependency on gettext.

 * The final fifth patch converts the gettext package to the
   autotools-package infrastructure.

I hope that this rework of Maxime's and Samuel's work will help in
getting this nice cleanup merged.

Please review and, if possible, ack this patch series.

Thanks!

Thomas

I am currently looking at this patchset. Globally, I'm OK with most of it,
except for some minor picks.

I am also almost finished doing the GETTEXT select rework I wrote about
yesterday, and will push an updated patchset with your patches, and mine
on-top of them.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
