380016Sobrien
480016SobrienNote that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need
580016Sobrienspecial versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will

880016SobrienNote - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled.
980016SobrienThe Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the
1080016SobrienMakefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the
1180016SobrienMakefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in
1280016Sobrienthe child directories.  There is no easy way around this (short of
1380016Sobrienchanging the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in
1480016Sobrienorder to correctly build the NLS files.
