I've done some digging on this in the past, and basically the only reason
we needed glib-gettextize at all is because it doesn't create the intl/
directory. IIRC, current gettextize has an option for it, as it should,
and I see no reason to keep glib-gettextize around *at all*. Auto* stuff
is hard enough as is and doing these sorts of silly hacks makes it even
more confusing.
So if we have another reason for dumping it, let's dump it :)
