I successfully removed gettext from a number of my installed ports,
but it looks like glib20 and everything that depends on it absolutely
requires gettext (there's a note in the ChangeLog suggesting that it
was a design decision).  That means pretty much everything GNOME and
KDE requires it, but it's still a step forward to proceed with other
ports.
