libintl is a library installed by gettext, and serves as a replacement for 
systems that do not have gettext().

The --intl option to gettextize installs a subdirectory in the source tree, 
'intl', and adds it to the disted tarball.  The configure script, upon a 
determination that the platform does not have a suitable() gettext (or if 
--with-included-gettext) is specified, will include the intl subdirectory in 
the build in that case.

Your LDADDs should have @LIBINTL@ included, which is usually empty, and 
filled in with -lintl when configure script decides to built libintl.a

I prefer NOT to run gettextize --intl in autogen.sh, but run it manually, 
and commit the intl subdirectory to CVS.  Whenever gettext is upgraded, 
repeat, and recommit any changes to CVS, again.
