We changed the official version to 0.16.1, meaning you need 0.16.1 to 
rebuild the intl/ and po/ directories which still contained overly 
outdated 0.11.5 files. There is no other way but to use the version 
that is available to most developpers, and 0.16.1 happens to be both in 
our contrib/ and in Debian/Ubuntu at the moment. Also 0.11.5 does not 
play well with the recent automake versions that most of us now have.

Besides, it is a well documented fact that developping VLC with Cygwin 
is a bad idea, and that you're on your own doing this. Mingw32 is the 
official platform, and MSYS is supposed to work better for native 
builds.

No.

Do not run autopoint, and stick to the official files from SVN.
