It is basically looking for whatever provides the *gettext and 
bindtextdomain functions, not caring about embedded libintl copies.  If 
they are in libc (like implemented in GNU libc), then the LIBINTL & 
LTLIBINTL variables are empty, otherwise they will contain the library 
(usually an external libintl.so).

Definitely not; this commit does not change the way messages are 
extracted.
