I really don't like that variable name, it's way too long.

I'd also prefer to see a more general way of requiring specific
versions of USE_TOOLS (e.g. USE_TOOLS+= xgettext>=0.18.3 or something)
rather than adding special cases like this all over the place,
especially during a freeze.

Can we go with a simpler, non-infrastructure fix for now and discuss a
general purpose solution post-freeze?

Thanks,
