i've managed to build packages for everything else on the system, and gettext 
seems to compile and install just fine, but for some reason, building the 
package fails:

  ===>  Building package for gettext-0.14.1
  Creating package /usr/ports/packages/All/gettext-0.14.1.tbz
  Registering depends: libiconv-1.9.2_1.
  Creating bzip'd tar ball in '/usr/ports/packages/All/gettext-0.14.1.tbz'
  tar: include/autosprintf.h: Could not stat: No such file or directory

  tar: share/doc/libasprintf/autosprintf.html: Could not stat: No such file or
  directory 
  pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
  *** Error code 1

now i understand what the error means, what i don't understand is why the 
error exists in the first place.  if these files aren't created with the 
initial make, why is the packager trying to include them?  and how do i fix 
this?
