Hi,
Using the default do_configure() overwrote config.h.in which lacked 
#defines like HAVE_SIGACTION and broke compilation for me.  I imagine 
that the right thing to do would be to just to patch configure.in and 
recreate the configure script and config.h.in.  This page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/config_002eh_002ein.html
seems to indicate that its ok to manually maintain a config.h.in, so I 
wonder what do_configure() should do in this case when this file is 
included in the source.
