configure problem

Okay,
  This:

	gettext_ver=`$GETTEXTIZE --version | \
  sed '2,$d;                    # remove all but the first line
       s/.* //;                 # take text after the last space
       s/-.*//;                 # strip "-pre" or "-rc" at the end
       s/\([^.]\+\)/0\1/g;      # prepend 0 to every token
       s/0\([^.][^.]\)/\1/g;    # trim 0 from long lokens
       s/\.//g;                 # remove dots
       '`

  Seems to not work correctly on
  This:

    www# gettextize --version
    /usr/local/bin/gettextize (GNU gettext) 0.11.5

I think what's happening here, is that the version of gettext is now 0.11.5,
and sed wacking this down to "0115" which the rest of the script seems to
interprit as being version 0.01.15, which is wrong.  Unfortunately, I'm not
a sed programmer, so I have no idea how to fix this in sed.  A perl hacker I
know thinks this would work:

gettextize --version|head -1|perl -ne 's/^.* ([0-9\.]+)$/$1/g; s/\.//g;
print;'
