My goal with this tool and with gettext-tiny which I added later is to be able to reduce the number of ports which requires/uses gettext tools at buid time. This will make a dependency chain way lighter than the actual one for many ports. And actually envsubst is a quite useful tool in general ;) Best regards, Bapt
