I will upload today or tomorrow a port of gettext-0.10.39
but some questions arise:
1) Binaries compiled with NLS are large. Should the binary package
   contain binaries compiled _without_ NLS too? This means two binaries
   for every program. Example:
     xgettext.exe (compiled out-of-the-box with NLS) and
     nnxgettext.exe (no-NLS xgettext compiled _without_ NLS)
   This would be intended for people who need the binaries but are not interested
   in NLS for some particular reason. I have no preferences at all.
2) Packages like gettext and libiconv start installing html formated
   man pages and info docs into a new directory. Example:
     gettext.html, gettext.pdf, gettext.dvi, gettext.ps go into $(prefix)/doc/gettext
   This is incompatible with the way DJGPP docs packages install their files.
   They install into $(prefix)/gnudocs/gettext. I have fixed this so the files are
   installed into $(prefix)/gnudocs/gettext and _not_ into $(prefix)/doc/gettext.
   I have no preferences at all but I will send a patch to Bruno Haible to fix
   DJGPP specific things so I need to know what is prefered concerning the
   directory issue.

Reagrds,
Guerrero, Juan M.
