Using libintl.a in own programs
===============================

   Starting with version 0.9.4 the library `libintl.h' should be
self-contained.  I.e., you can use it in your own programs without
providing additional functions.  The `Makefile' will put the header and
the library in directories selected using the `$(prefix)'.

   One exception of the above is found on HP-UX 10.01 systems.  Here
the C library does not contain the `alloca' function (and the HP
compiler does not generate it inlined).  But it is not intended to
rewrite the whole library just because of this dumb system.  Instead
include the `alloca' function in all package you use the `libintl.a' in.
