The following are done:

  - Merge changes from glibc CVS, but keep the copyright as GPL.
  - Merge iconv support.
  - Deal with the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am differently.
The following is obsolete:
  - Should gettext.alias be distributed? - It has been removed.
New plans:
  - Stop documenting AM_WITH_NLS. AM_GNU_GETTEXT is the right macro to use.
  - Unify intlh.inst.in and libgettext.h.
  - Build also libintl.so, using libtool.
  - Check the *.m4 macros with bleeding-edge autoconf & automake.
