If you run across a package that uses both gettext and gnulib (you can
spot the latter by looking for files called gnulib-cache.m4), be careful
with this, as it won't work right unless something along the lines of
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-11/msg00265.html is
applied. Consult an expert if in doubt.
