Reinhard -

I found it in python-tools.  The actual command is pygettext.py, so I
fixed that.  However, I ran into another problem:

[stan@localhost gnue-common-0.6.8]$ python setup.py bdist_rpm
running bdist_rpm
writing 'build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SPECS/gnue-common.spec'
running sdist
building ChangeLog
svn: '.' is not a working copy
Unable to retrieve svn log

It is acting like it thinks I'm trying to do setup on a downloaded svn
working copy and not on a tar.gz.  It also shouldn't have needed
pygettext.py because that is for building the translations in the po
directory that are also already there.

The setup.py also looks like it is doing things that it shouldn't need to
do for an ordinary setup, and might not support bdist_rpm.

I'm not sure how far my effort can go, but I'll try a few more things.
