  For what it's worth, I too am in favour of the $(needs-gettext*) constructs.  As
mentioned in my previous mail, $(needs-gettext) itself should be left out.  But
I would name them:
$(gettext-deps-if-locale)
$(gettext-libs-if-locale)
Although the naming will never be fully self-explanatory.

  Regards,
  Arnout
