While I also smile sometimes when I see people conditionalize gettext, I
then remember that there are people who are really keen on keeping their
systems NLS-free, and in fact might try really hard to not taint it with
gettext.  So even gettext is a commodity, don't hardcode it unless it is
inevitable (e.g., requires heavy software patching).
