I've just created a branch in CVS, called "heroes_0_21_errata", based on 
"heroes_0_21". Unfortunately I cannot build "heroes_0_21" from CVS, while I 
can for "HEAD". Indeed :

Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause autoconfiguration
to look for an external libintl.

Please create po/Makevars from the template in po/Makevars.template.
You can then remove po/Makevars.template.

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.5 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

Please run 'automake m4/Makefile' to create m4/Makefile.in

Please add po/Makefile.in m4/Makefile to the AC_OUTPUT or AC_CONFIG_FILES 
invocation in the configure.in file.

You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/local/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

Sorry but it looks too much like black magic to me. So unless I get some help, 
don't expect any new release from me.
