Unless you're modifying the build system and specifically things relating to 
building the language tools this is safe to ignore.  That message is 
intended for maintainers running intltoolize for the first time.

Automake 1.4 is ok for now.  See below.

Don't worry about those rejects.  Some versions of intltool and gettext 
don't play nice together.  That patch failing is omitting broken rules for 
updating the po files.  Its ok, perhaps even intended :)

Now that one IS my fault :)  I'll post a patch to -patches shortly.

Technically automake 1.5+ is required for intltool.  However, since the 
parts that need it don't actually get targets generated for them its not a 
problem, yet.  Automake 1.4 is fine for now.
