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’ 0.19.8.1 distribution itself, or from the GNU ‘hello’
distribution (<http://www.gnu.org/software/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.
