I do: USE_GNU_GETTEXT=yes... although, I do not know why it does search the
.la instead of regular .so files. libtool weirdness ;)

I would like to know if it is possible to fix packages to use the .so version
instead, so that gnome2 packages that currently use USE_GNU_GETTEXT can be
fixed to use NetBSD's version. Anybody knows how to do it? (the thing is that
some packages use the .so and some others the .la).

Thank you!
