That's quite strange.  I tried to reproduce this with setup.exe
2.510.2.2 and the snapshot 2.553 but neither hung there.  I can't think
of what could cause this.  I think you can rule out download corruption
since setup.exe would have complained about a md5 sum mismatch, but just
in case the one I have is:

e8aa6773706e273d16329451f7c896a9 *gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2

If you want to install this package by hand in the same way setup.exe
would, you can try the following:

tar jxvf /path/to/gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2 -C / >/etc/setup/gettext.lst
gzip /etc/setup/gettext.lst
echo "gettext gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2 0" >>/etc/setup/installed.db
. /etc/postinstall/gettext.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/gettext.sh{,.done}

(Note: untested but should work.)

Hmm.  It's not a strictly required package, and only useful for
development, but if it keeps getting added that means some package you
have installed lists it as a requirement.
