If the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro wasn't found above, it won't be expanded to
the appropriate code, so the execution of the ./configure script will
fail.

gschem attempts to require the version of gettext you have installed.
This was to work around a bug somehow introduced in gettext which broke
its supposed backwards compatibility to older version numbers which
geda/gaf used to request.
