Mikael and I just started going through the libmrproject API to clean it
up and make it consistent, so any doc/binding work other than
infrastructure should ideally not be done before that, to avoid
duplication of work.  

We discussed the intltool and gettext issues a bit and came to the
conclusion that requiring automake 1.6+ is not a problem, likewise for
using gettext 0.11.4 (it will only be required when building from CVS,
right?).

Agreed.

We'd prefer to just do the proposed changes for libmrproject for now,
and wait with mrproject until intltool has been fixed and gotten a bit
of testing.

We really appreciate this, feel free to commit the auto* stuff and the
doc parts to libmrproject HEAD.

Thanks again, you rock! :)
