autogen.sh failing with po/ and needs libtoolize --force

[Carol Spears]

hello,

i have been trying to work with the script that was provided on this
maillist recently and with current svn sources.  my approach of learning
how to fix things that others messed up has been time consuming and also
is not getting me the newest xfce4 possible which was the goal.

for every one of the xfce4 sources that starts with "lib", i have needed
to manually "libtoolize --force" before autogen.sh could finish.

now, i am building in directories that do not start with "lib" and i am
finding this error everywhere:

Running intltoolize --automake --copy --force
cp: cannot create regular file `po/Makefile.in.in': No such file or
directory
intltoolize: cannot copy '/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in' to
'po/Makefile.in.in'

is it me, my system or flaws in autotools or in autogen.sh?  i am
willing to edit things in any of those places or even elsewhere where
the fault/problem might be.

meanwhile, my beta install is still funcitioning nicely.  my only
"complaint" and it is not really a complaint is that i miss some of
those things from xfce4.2
