Sorry my comment was inaccurate. Actually, you can safely skip
the msgerge step when installing. msgmerge is needed for the
translaters but not for the site managers. New Makefile.in
in CVS skips this step if msgmerge is not available or get

translate and use msgmerge which is included in the GNU distro.
Python gettext.py is included in the mailman distribution.
