    I ran "sh autogen.sh --disable-nls" on a fresh checkout. 'configure' *still* 
    reports missing PO macros and, interestingly, is ambiguous about NSL support:
    
    This package is configured for the following features:
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Compiling with plugin support..........   yes
    Compiling with private record support..   yes
    Compiling with Datebk support..........   yes
    Compiling with Ma�na support..........   yes
    Compiling with Prometheon support......   no
    Compiling Expense plugin...............   yes
    Compiling SyncTime plugin..............   yes
    Compiling KeyRing plugin...............   yes
    Compiling dialer add-on................   no
    GTK-2 support..........................   yes
    NLS support (foreign languages)........
    Compiler Options.......................   -g -O2
    Prefix directory.......................   /usr/local
    pilot-link headers.....................   /usr/include
    USB support enabled....................   yes
    pilot-link 0.12 support................   no
    pilot-link version found...............   0.11.8
    
    So, I hacked the Makefile, removing po/ from the target dirs. Now the build 
    completes and leaves a working executable.
    
    Perhaps disrelated is that "Plugins" is missing on the menu bar. But I think 
    I've had trouble with that previously.
