ACFLAVOUR=2.50 does not work because there are no "autoheader2.50"
nor "autoconf2.50" commands on my system.  I use version 2.52 of these
two programs.  (I also use automake 1.6 and libtool 1.4.)

Anyway, I did add --force to the 'gettextize --copy' command in autogen.sh
and then ran './autogen.sh --help'.  I got these error messages:


Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING'

`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.


These messages seem to be related to app/Makefile.am, which explicity
defines targets named run_dia.sh and run_diaconv.sh, which are also
generated by automake because of the noinst_PROGRAMS clause.


Then I ran ./configure but still got no po/Makefile, just po/Makefile.in:

checking for db2html... /usr/bin/db2html
mv: cannot stat `po/POTFILES': No such file or directory
./configure: po/POTFILES.tmp: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating lib/Makefile
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: creating intl/Makefile
config.status: creating objects/Makefile
config.status: creating objects/standard/Makefile
	...


In one of my projects, the generated 'configure' script has this line,
which seems to be the one that produces po/Makefile:

    sed -e "/POTFILES =/r po/POTFILES" po/Makefile.in > po/Makefile

I see no such line in the configure script generated by dia's autogen.sh.
I don't know what statement in the configure.in could make the difference.
