`aclocal.m4' at top level

If you do not have an `aclocal.m4' file in your distribution, the simplest is taking a copy of `aclocal.m4' from GNU gettext. But to be precise, you only need macros AM_LC_MESSAGES, AM_WITH_NLS and AM_GNU_GETTEXT, and AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, which is called by AM_WITH_NLS, so you may use an editor and remove macros you do not need.

If you already have an `aclocal.m4' file, then you will have to merge the said macros into your `aclocal.m4'. Note that if you are upgrading from a previous release of GNU gettext, you should most probably replace the said macros, as they usually change a little from one release of GNU gettext to the next. Their contents may vary as we get more experience with strange systems out there.

These macros check for the internationalization support functions and related informations. Hopefully, once stabilized, these macros might be integrated in the standard Autoconf set, because this piece of m4 code will be the same for all projects using GNU gettext.
