 > you could prevent the tests from being installed

 That's definitely the right fix. I'm not sure how to achieve it, though -
 i'll have to look into it.

 > (also, looking at the linkages, you should probably also add a library
 dependency on gettext, as well, for libintl, although that is not quite as
 important because so much other stuff depends on gettext that it is much
 less likely to get deactivated than "check" is, and also `nm` says that
 xmlpatch does not actually use any symbols from libintl, even though it
 links against it...)

 This clearly also wants looking into. I suspect that libintl is a
 transitive dependency of something else; it may or may not actually be
 needed.

 It'd be nice to upgrade to version 0.4.0 as well, once the bugs are fixed.
