The GIT version of Make has the following requirements that are current missing or have issues:
- wget - to pull in the po files
- git clone does not tag files (should be fixed with our git) - pulls in gnulib
- pkg_config - used in configure.ac, fails without it
- gettext m4 files are not picked up (we may need to export ACLOCAL_PATH?)
