Running ./autogen.sh should already be requiring minimum tools; look at
how bootstrap.conf has the $buildreq variable that includes gettext 0.17
as a prereq.  Maybe the problem is that you can have a system with
gettext but not msgmerge?  What distro are you using, and what
package(s) did you install to get things working?  How are the binaries
divided between packages?  Do we need to add a line to $buildreq?
