Couple of questions:

Does your aclocal.m4 file contain a definition of IT_PROG_INTLTOOL?  The 
definition starts like this:

   dnl IT_PROG_INTLTOOL([MINIMUM-VERSION], [no-xml])
   # serial 35 IT_PROG_INTLTOOL
   AC_DEFUN([IT_PROG_INTLTOOL],
   [AC_PREREQ([2.50])dnl
etc.

You mentioned in your first email that you're trying to compile this on 
FC6, in which case you should have all these tools available through 
yum, ie: yum install intltool

You shouldn't need to rebuild anything (except the latest virt-manager) 
from source ...

Rich.
