The problem is that texi2html does actually require gettext. Its
makefile wants to install mo files that are not present in the
distribution (so msgfmt is required). Configuring with --disable-nls
causes the resulting script to fail at runtime.
Perhaps moving texi2html into its own module would solve the circular
dependency?
