No, I didn't mean that.  I meant to say that since the source of Fileutils
doesn't call `gettext' from `conio' explicitly anywhere, you can use the
#define solution (which is only known at compile time).  If the
DOS-specific sources used with Fileutils were to call `gettext' from
`conio', you wouldn't be able to use a global definition of GNU `gettext',
since it would then also affect the calls to `gettext' from `conio'. 

Sorry for not being clear enough.
