Relative to 0.15.9: I needed to remove references to robx.h and robx.c
from src/Makefile.am.  In addition, msg-count.sh seems to be missing;
at this stage I'm stuck.

The routine AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS referenced in configure.ac is in there;
this searches for the correct way to add -ldb to the compiler flags.
It seems to be taken from lib-link.m4 from gettext 0.11.3; there were
several changes to this file between gettext-0.11.3 and -0.13.
