I uploaded it now:

I don't see a MSVC project for gettext itself in there, just a sample
MSVC application that uses gettext.

Thanks for this link.
So when the MSCV DLL won't link we have to use static linking as Abdel
pointed out. Can you have a look how this can be achieved? (I'm
technically too limited with compiler/linker issues.)
Yes, maybe we could link statically. Although having a DLL would be
better, right now all the external libraries are DLLs on Windows.
I'm afraid I won't have time to look into this now. If the LyX problem
is caused by a known bug in gettext, maybe the easiest solution for now
would be to apply the bugfix to our gettext version. Did someone test on
Linux to figure out which gettext version fixes the problem?
