autoconf: don't depend on gettext

Port: autoconf

Description

autopoint is just one of several commands that autoreconf will run if (and only if) the configure.ac calls for it. Others include intltoolize and gtkdocize. Rather than all ports using autoconf being required to have gettext installed, it should be added to depends_build by the ports that actually need it, just as intltool and gtk-doc are.

In a61fcbaaaa5e21fedb2997fda946c149bd00e915/macports-ports (master):

autoconf: remove gettext dependency

Autoconf itself doesn't need gettext, and the subset of ports that need
to run autopoint when regenerating their autotools build system should
list it in depends_build. This should usually be the case already,
since if the gettext programs are needed to generate the configure
script, they are also needed when running it.
