Two options : 1. Build intltool. intltool depends on Perl and the XML::Parser Perl module. Which of these do we build, and which of these do we require ? 2. Depend on intltool unconditionnally in toolchain/dependencies/depencies.sh. This is the simplest solution, but would mean that all of our users would have to install intltool even if they don't build one the packages using it. 3. Depend on intltool only if one of the packages needing it is enabled. But we could still do the check at the beginning of the build process. Which solution?
