I also found other Windows sources of gettext 0.17 for Windows and could compile the intl.dll from the sources. The problem is that my compiled intl.dll won't link with your LyX Windows package and all my attempts to change the source code to make it link failed. Can you therefore please have a look if you are able to use gettext 0.17 for you LyX Windows bundle?
Are you sure you actually have gettext code that is compatible with MSVC? I remember gettext 0.15 still included MSVC support code (it was somewhat broken, but I was able to fix it). AFAIK after gettext 0.15 MSVC support was removed so that's why we're still using gettext 0.15. Later versions won't export any functions in the MSVC DLL and therefore won't link.
It should definitely be possible to use the gettext 0.15 MSVC support code and update that to 0.17. However, I'm afraid I won't have time for this. If you want to give it a try, a diff between the official gettext 0.15 and my modified gettext 0.15 on the LyX FTP should show what I fixed in 0.15. And you can diff 0.15 and 0.16 to see what MSVC support code was removed.
