Hi.  Thanks for the report.  Libidn does not really require a modern
gettext, but I bumped the version to 0.19.3 so that gettextize installs
the latest m4 files.  I don't think you can tell gettext to use the
latest M4 files but don't require the latest gettext.  Which gettext
version do you have?  Maybe we can lower it a bit, it was raised
arbitrarily and without any real problem prompting it.  We used to
declare 0.18.3.
