In libguestfs, we recently got rid of gettextize (or rather, we got rid of the po/Makefile* cruft that gettextize produces). We replaced it with a very simple 100 line Makefile.am which does the same thing, without the many bugs and problems caused by gettextize and autopoint: Final po/Makefile.am: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/75514ab57a06e534f26698fe1725ca29b966c3ad/po/Makefile.am Patches to remove gettextize cruft: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/6aa95e87c1f259589ff9c7812707e4b30b8f6fd7 https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/75514ab57a06e534f26698fe1725ca29b966c3ad Is this something that libvirt would be interested in?
