[sr #110435] autoreconf: recognize when AM_ICONV is used without the rest of gettext

Follow-up Comment #7, sr#110435 (group autoconf):

Yes, I have wrote in the first comment that the custom script which copies
config.rpath to current directory and then run autoreconf is a workaround.

I'm looking at autotools now again and seems that config.rpath is copied by
autopoint to current dir. But autopoint is called only when configure.ac uses
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION macro. But usage of AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in
configure.ac cause that autoreconf (or its subprocess) installs gettext stuff
which are not required for non-gettext projects.

So I think that solution for this problem can be:
Use current autoreconf detection if calling autopoint is needed and call it.
If autopoint was not called and configure.ac use AM_ICONV macro then copy
config.rpath to current directory.
