it's even more tricky in case of gettext, as its functions are
available as a seperate library, but are also part of GNU glibc,
which is the default system C library on Linux

OTOH making setlocale() and gettext() work fine with ZTS without
overwriting language settings for other threads might require some
patching of the library functions themselve, so that might be
an argument *for* bundling in this case ...
