I was unsuccessful in locating a catgets implementation, which would work
successfully on native Woe32; the GNU implementation carried too much ancillary
baggage, which I didn't have the energy to port, and I couldn't find a complete
and consistent source package for the BSD implementation, (and what I did find
was borderline incomprehensible), so I wrote my own implementation from scratch.

Every catgets implementation will define its own unique binary format for message
catalogues; the GnuWin32 catgets is unlikely to grok the format of catalogues
generated by my gencat.exe.

Bill's crapware doesn't work too well as a cross-compiler, hosted on GNU/Linux,
so I've never used it.  My bin and dev packages have been built with the MinGW
port of GCC, but you should be able to use the pre-built DLL with MSVC; consult
http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/MSVC-MinGW-DLL for guidance.  Alternatively,
you could adapt my sources to build with MSVC -- do remember that I publish
the package under GPLv2.

Regards,
Keith.
