 14 The Installer's and Distributor's View
 *****************************************
 
 By default, packages fully using GNU `gettext', internally, are
 installed in such a way that they to allow translation of messages.  At
 _configuration_ time, those packages should automatically detect
 whether the underlying host system already provides the GNU `gettext'
 functions.  If not, the GNU `gettext' library should be automatically
 prepared and used.  Installers may use special options at configuration
 time for changing this behavior.  The command `./configure
 --with-included-gettext' bypasses system `gettext' to use the included
 GNU `gettext' instead, while `./configure --disable-nls' produces
 programs totally unable to translate messages.
 
    Internationalized packages have usually many `LL.po' files.  Unless
 translations are disabled, all those available are installed together
 with the package.  However, the environment variable `LINGUAS' may be
 set, prior to configuration, to limit the installed set.  `LINGUAS'
 should then contain a space separated list of two-letter codes, stating
 which languages are allowed.
