configure fails with autoreconf.

[orbea]

OS: Slackware64-current autoconf-2.69

When generating the configure script and Makefiles with autoreconf configure will fail.

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating data/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'

This can be reproduced with.

cd gtk
autoreconf -fi
./configure

It does work with autogen.sh, but it would be nice if autoreconf worked too.

Here is a full log.

autoreconf doesn't know about the glib tool used for internationalization, so it won't work. That's why autogen.sh is there.
