Use latest features like the webpage URL in AC_INIT and upstream gettext instead the Glib on

I don't mind merging your version number bumps of autotools dependencies, since Debian stable is probably the only distro that still ships automake-1.10, but replacing GLib gettext with upstream one will fail to work without reworking autogen.sh too.

Problem is that intltool doesn't copy enough stuff to satisfy upstream gettext. To bypass this limitation, one needs to call autopoint twice: first time gettextize must be invoked and second time intltoolize. This makes autoreconf unusable. So this is the main reason why I don't use upstream gettext for now.

BTW, did you try to autogen the freshly cloned package? I'm almost certain that it would fail on some missing file (I think ABOUT-NLS was the one that gave me trouble last time I tried).

New requirements:
autoconf >= 2.64
automake >= 1.11

Also, I've used upstream gettext instead the Glib one
