If so, can it be removed?I think it can indeed be removed if you're not using any of the other -ize programs (glib-gettextize, intltoolize, gtkdocize).
Why should it be necessary to call aclocal if you’re using the -ize programs? All they do is copy files into place, which shouldn’t depend on any other files (or aclocal.m4) being in place, right? Giving this a spin with a project which currently uses `aclocal; intltoolize; autoreconf`, intltoolize seems to need aclocal to create $srcdir/m4, but nothing else. *facepalm* Philip
