13.4 Files You Must Create or Alter
===================================

   Besides files which are automatically added through `gettextize',
there are many files needing revision for properly interacting with GNU
`gettext'.  If you are closely following GNU standards for Makefile
engineering and auto-configuration, the adaptations should be easier to
achieve.  Here is a point by point description of the changes needed in
each.

   So, here comes a list of files, each one followed by a description of
all alterations it needs.  Many examples are taken out from the GNU
`gettext' 0.18.1 distribution itself, or from the GNU `hello'
distribution (`http://www.franken.de/users/gnu/ke/hello' or
`http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/hello/')  You may indeed refer to the
source code of the GNU `gettext' and GNU `hello' packages, as they are
intended to be good examples for using GNU gettext functionality.
