The patch works except for 1 issue: the “” empty string actually shows up in the list, so make dies with a no “” target found error.

Fix is just to leave the variable empty ala

empty=

In any case, I confirm it works now as I could build *with* and *without* gettext installed.

i remember somebody mentioning problems with the autotools-based build
failing if gettext was not installed.
alas, i cannot find the email (but i suspect dan).

anyhow, could that person (or somebody else) test whether the attached
patch fixes this? (it should just not try to build the po files)
