django-admin.py makemessages --all exists without warning if gettext is not installed

[elpargo]

If you run django-admin.py makemessages --all on a project in a system that does not have the gettext package installed, it will just exit without error or warning.

For new users this is a bit misleading, it should print out a warning about not finding xgettext like django-admin.py makemessages -l <locale> does.

Actually, this works for me, raising this:

Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
/bin/sh: xgettext: command not found

FWIW this is what I get running the command on Django own tree:

Linux:

django$ PYTHONPATH=.. bin/django-admin.py makemessages --all
processing language th
Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
/bin/sh: xgettext: command not found


django$ PYTHONPATH=.. bin/django-admin.py makemessages -l es_AR
processing language es_AR
Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
/bin/sh: xgettext: command not found

Windows:
