Sorry, my fault.

Although we were not trying to decide anything jet, we are talking with
Sun guys (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D119613) to know the
actual status of SUN gettext. I don't know if there is another
implementation that we should care about.


And of course, we are not the intltool maintainer so Kenneth is who
should take any decision. That's only my ideas.

Cheers.
