Thanks a lot!

For completeness: Would it make sense to add an indication, somewhere, about 
the way
to create the .exe from the .cs? This is something that surely everybody using
mono knows, but I had to search for it. I guess this would be correct:

mcs -out:csharpexec-test.exe csharpexec-test.cs

I don't think a Makefile is required for that, but if it's done in a Makefile,
it would help if it's not triggered by automake maintainer's mode (not sure if
that's possible), as I'm currently running autoreconf and this would force me
to add an extra build-dependency just for a single file. Before doing that
I would probably stop including the .exe file in the gettext-doc.deb package.

(At this moment Debian bookworm is starting to freeze before becoming Debian 12)

Note: The Debian package disabled the mono stuff in version 0.17-7 (dated 
2009-08-17)

That's a pity. Isn't GNOME using C# [1], and also isn't it useful for building
mobile apps [2]?

I don't know. Nobody in Debian has asked me to restore mono support
since then, and the gettext package has become complex enough that
anybody interested would surely have to provide patches.

Thanks.
