Pidgin-2.6.1, LINGUAS and intltool-0.40.6

[Peter Hjalmarsson]

Hello all.

It seems like distributions starts to pick up intltool-0.40.6, and so it
seems like the release tarball of pidgin-2.6.1 had it files generated by
it.

This leads to the little cute bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577133

This in short means that if someone has LINGUAS set to something they
will get nothing. This is fixed upstream, but has yet to make it to a
release.

So people, if users that compiles pidgin themselves starts to complain
about missing language support, here is why. I also urge you if you
encounter this to bug your distribution of choice until they issue a
patched/fixed release of intltool. Gentoo has already problems with many
new GNOME-releases becouse of this.

Regards
