One problem is that configure.ac for gschem gets created based on what 
version of gettext the developer has.  So for my system, I was building 
with no problems, but as soon as I tried to build from the release 
tarballs I ran into the same missing LOCALE_H problem.

It still seems to me that there must be a way of dealing with the 
problems here.  Perhaps the way to go is

1) get rid of the autogenerated configure.ac (sorry Ales, but it really 
seems like a hack to me) and go back to a static one.

2) explicitly check locale.h

3) explicitly add a test for mkinstalldirs (or whatever it was which was 
missing out of some other versions of gettext).

while here, something is set up wrong in gattrib with respect to i18n. 
I get tons of compiler spew about redefines of things.  In my 5 minutes 
spent looking into it I didn't find the difference between gattrib and 
gschem that would explain it.
