Added basic GNU Gettext support.

* .arch-inventory: Mark `ABOUT-NLS' as precious.

* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Added `po'.
  (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): New.
  (EXTRA_DIST): New.

* configure.ac: Look for `gettext', output `po/Makefile.in'.

* src/guile/skribilo/biblio/template.scm
  (make-bib-entry-template/default): Internationalized a bit.
  (make-bib-entry-template/skribe): Likewise.

* src/guile/skribilo/utils/syntax.scm (%skribilo-module-reader): I18ned.
  (_): New.
  (N_): New.

+# Output a system dependent set of variables, describing how to set the

+#   Copyright 1996-2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

+#
+# The first argument passed to this file is the canonical host specification,

+# Known limitations:
+# - On IRIX 6.5 with CC="cc", the run time search patch must not be longer
+#   than 256 bytes, otherwise the compiler driver will dump core. The only
+#   known workaround is to choose shorter directory names for the build
+#   directory and/or the installation directory.
+
+# All known linkers require a `.a' archive for static linking (except MSVC,
+# which needs '.lib').
