I've merged these (and fixed the typo). Also added
programs/dtdspmsg/MsgCat.c
programs/dtexec/MsgCat.c
programs/dtsr/MsgCat.c
programs/localized/util/MsgCat.c
to .gitignore as these appear to be generated now.
Tried a test build and all seemed to work and run. Thanks!

Absolutely - you will need an SF account though. Then I can add you as
a Member and that will give you access to the wiki.
Just let me know what it is (off-list) and I'll do that.

Yeah, xsvc was meant to just provide an interface to the hardware so
userspace could handle the rest.
