Allow older versions of gettext

tresf commented 7 years ago

Gettext 0.18.3 works just fine and lowers the requirements for older build systems. @hartwork FYI, partially reverts 01c7745.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

Please check #25 for why I bumped to gettext 0.19.x back then. 0.18.3 may still do, but I rely on you for testing.

ABOUT-NLS ~~has since been removed by you in 236bda4.~~ Edit: Sorry, referencing an un-merged pull request. I'm not sure why we don't have this file.
remove-potcdate.sin I can't find any info on, but here's a mirror.
extern-inline.m4 I'm having trouble locating as well.

Edit: The rest of the files seem to be there so if this reversion to older gettext causes a bug, I would need help identifying it.

I don't know this build system (at all) so I hope this provides enough information for a decision. If not, let me know and I can dig some more information.
