 	OK, I missed the start of the thread, so apologies if I'm
 	repeating what has already been done, but just to confirm
 	I just setup a NetBSD 3.1.1 qemu image on my server, and
 	building the previous rev of shared-mime-info but with
 	everything else from the latest pkgsrc gives:

          that supports non-ASCII strings (such as GNU gettext >= 0.12),
          or have to let non-ASCII strings untranslated. (If there is any)

 	So.. that adds having intltool-extract grow an option to be compatible
 	with gettext 0.10.35 to the list...
