--- Comment #8 from Matthias Andree <mandree@FreeBSD.org> ---
I happen to be the upstream maintainer of fetchmail (whilst *not* maintaini=
ng
FreeBSD's port) and believe that I know what I am doing with all GNU autoto=
ols
(except libtool, which I find arcane).=20

I know that the gettext stuff that ships with fetchmail's tarball matches
what's needed and is fine, and that the configure.ac patches that require u=
s to
run autoreconf (actually, only autoconf, not even aclocal) will not require
autopoint. Perhaps I should propose another change to the port to its
maintainer (Corey Halpin) to reduce the ifs and buts to one unconditional
"autoconf" run in pre-configure and move on, rather than trying to convince
portmgr@ that the current state of affairs around autoreconf isn't complete,
and to convince autoreconf that it can waive running autopoint...

Introducing gettext dependencies, however, for a port that can well live
without as long as the NLS option is disabled, is certainly not viable.
