As you see, this part is called only when $to is "cvs". And it's
deprecated and disabled by default in gettext-tools/configure.ac:
AC_ARG_WITH([cvs],
[ --with-cvs use cvs to compress the infrastructure archive
(deprecated)],
[gt_use_cvs=$withval],
[gt_use_cvs=no])
Could you provide the error log if you are really having the problem with it?

The above patch was reported against 0.18.1.1. What's the reasoning
behind you saying it is the last portable version?
