I removed the intl from balsa when it was checkedout (CVSROOT/modules) and
set autogen.sh to create the intl dir. But someone one accidently added
intl dir to balsa and it is empty just look at: 
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=balsa/intl&rev=

I checkout using 'cvs -z3 co -P' and update using 'cvs -z3 update -Pd'.

This is ugly but in my home I solve this by doing 'rmdir
/cvs/gnome/balsa/intl' but I'm the only user of my CVS tree... but that is
not possible in this case or is it?
