That does not matter (regarding wml), you have to install the
header-files anyway (and of course the library itself as well).

That is no wonder, since the linking is done against a static library:

gcc  -o [...] ../../intl/libintl.a [...]

Try the following (change to the source dir before):

# ./configure > conf.txt
# grep libintl conf.txt

This produces here on my linux box (wml 2.0.11):

checking libintl.h usability... yes
checking libintl.h presence... yes
checking for libintl.h... yes

No, I'd say, since:

# rgrep -r libintl *

produces quite a big list.
