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

[Rodrigo Coacci]

That is something really weird...
First of all, I recomend ALWAYS doing a autogen after an svn update, because
I already had problems with that (and is something your script tries to
decide to do or not).
But since you tried an autogen by hand and it didn´t work, I can´t really
understand what the problem might be... Are you sure your svn check outs are
complete?

I guess something is really wrong with you svn checkout, either it is not
complete, or you are using (don´t know how) a wrong autogen|configure,
because its  looking for a dir it can´t find.  It may also be something
wrong with  how your system is handling paths.... Really don´t know....
