The i18n support. For the native-english people, there is no advantage
so it may be disapear for the default port.
I'm developping the Japanized GNOME, so very important.

OK, I should upgrade that. But when gnome can't run with that,
we should have two branches, gettext and gettext-latest or some.
And when you needs the latest gettext port very very soon, please
send me patch...

I don't know what the core team people really think, but
FreeBSD has its own locale system so doesn't seem to need gettext
natively.
