intltool/autotools problem?

[Steffen Sledz <sledz@dresearch.de>]

While creating new recipes for vala-dbus-binding-tool (see thread
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded/29964/focus=30170>)
we mentioned the following problem. I started a new thread for this
because i believe this is a common one.

I'm not sure for myself. But without intltool-native dependency
baking vala-dbus-binding-tool fails with:

ERROR: function do_configure failed

Maybe this is a bug autotools_stage and this dependency should be generated
automatically like autoconf-native, automake-native, and libtool-native?
