I will, but I wonder how I can do that, as ./configure in the current 
revision on svn gives this error:

Running intltoolize ...
cp: cannot create regular file `po/Makefile.in.in': No such file or 
directory
intltoolize: cannot copy '/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in' to 
'po/Makefile.in.in'
**Error**: intltoolize failed.

(which was why I used an older revision to create the text) and the 
patch is not applicable on that older revision that I used before.

Kind regards,
André
