virtual/gettext-runtime or the like? Personally I'd prefer that you
waited for the virtuals GLEP. See, then we could have a virtual/gettext,
which does something like:
DEPEND="sys-apps/gettext"
RDEPEND="
elibc_glibc? ( virtual/glibc )
elibc_uclibc? ( sys-libs/uclibc )
elibc_bsd? ( sys-apps/gettext )"
or whatever. One virtual. Far nicer. Anyway, whatever you decide upon,
let me know so that I can get it in The Doc...
