intltool is 100% compatible with xml-i18n-tools (even ".cvsignore"
compatible). Let me know if you find any bugs in the compatibility layer.

intltool is supposed to obsolete xml-i18n-tools; that's what the cvs spec
file does. If you decide that instead it should provide xml-i18n-tools that
would be OK too I guess. I don't really understand the distinction in the
RPM world.
