Akim Demaille 91a2b9b1b2 build: lower gettext requirements.
Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from
gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems
that perfectly supported Bison mo files.  Lower the requirement.

	* configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of
	need-formatstring-macros.
	Reported by Martin Jabocs.
	Suggested by Bruno Haible.
	* INSTALL: Restructure.
	(Internationalization): New.

This package contains the GNU Bison parser generator.
* Installation
** Build
See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
instructions.
Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later. See:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz
** Internationalization
Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the
maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers
(i.e., for the user-side parser execution). The requirements between
both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not. To
simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not
supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for
more details.
* Questions
See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for
frequently asked questions. The documentation is also available in
PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
run "make pdf" or "make html".
If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
* Bug reports
Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Please include the
version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
test case in each bug report.
