I'm not sure. ./configure itself checks for msgfmt and in my generated
po/Makefile $GMSGFMT is set to /usr/bin/msgfmt (same as $MSGFMT). I
have no clue why it wasn't set on Rodrigo's system.

It seems it is not necessary. The used intltool-merge script is bundled
in the tarball, so there is probably no need for having intltool itself
installed on the target system. At least, I just uninstalled intltool
locally and did a successfully configure && make && make install of
the 0.12 tarball.
