fix for autoconf 2.70 needed

[andyrtr]

With recent autoconf 2.70 you will get this error when running autoreconf -vfi:

configure.ac: error: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION or AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION

I could solve it adding this small patch. Not sure if gettext 0.21 is needed or even an older version would do it.

And please add the missing README file to avoid another autotools error. I've added "touch README" to our Arch packaging script for a long time.

Hi @andyrtr ,

thank you for reporting the issue!

My Fedora rawhide has only autoconf 2.69, would you mind testing if adding the following line in configure.ac works?

AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18.3])

I chose this version because it is the same version as cups-filters requires and I would like to require the same version as other projects of printing stack.

Works well too here.

Fixed on the current master.

Thank you for the report and testing!
