Please do upload it.  Somebody (maybe even myself) might use it to make 
Text/Fileutils support internationalization features.

Since GNU `gettext' is typically compiled together with the package
that uses it, I suggest defining their `gettext' to something else
(`GNU_gettext' OK?) and building the package that way.  Since DJGPP's 
`gettext' is not called by Fileutils, a global definition on config.h 
should be OK.
