 That comes from gettext, so it means you need Yann's gettextize patches.

 Unfortunately, it still doesn't work, but for a different reason:

configure.ac:49: error: `po/Makefile.in' is already registered with AC_CONFIG_FILES.
../../lib/autoconf/status.m4:288: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.ac:49: the top level

 po/Makefile.in is mentioned twice in configure.ac, because gettextize adds it
as well. Yann, any ideas how to solve this? The easiest solution is probably
patch libconfuse.

 Arnout
