     "xgettext --language=Python" now supports the plural handling functions
     ngettext, dngettext, ungettext (introduced in Python 2.3).
 
+  - A new autoconf macro AM_PO_SUBDIRS is added. It is like AM_GNU_GETTEXT,
+    for packages written in other languages than C/C++.

 * A new include file libgettextpo, with public header file "gettext-po.h",
   provides functions for reading PO files into memory. It is useful for
   applying PO files to areas not covered by the GNU gettext programs.

+The @code{AM_PO_SUBDIRS} macro determines whether internationalization
