Arg. Thats a bummer. Is it up for review, or resolution at a later time?

So far, I only have one application which is affected by this. But it sounds
like a recipe for disaster, if i8n efforts in GTK/Gnome software continue.

And, indeed I found the pkgsrc/devel/gettext a PITA to use. Maybe we need to
concentrate on getting it un-wound from needing libintl in pkg?
