I was aware gettextize was not reading gettext.info, but thanks for
making this explicit.

| It is correct. If gettextize did not copy these files, the subsequent

| 'aclocal' program version 1.5.

Do you have any evidence of this ``bug''?  It turns out that I have
removed all these useless files, and aclocal runs fine.  So I'm not
aware of the bug you are referring to, nor could I find any bug report
related to this on Automake's list.

Once this alocal bug fixed, could gettextize be fixed?  I can provide
the patch if that's a problem.
