we will be waiting years for it as its a core part of libc too and they wont
make api changes quickly. we are better off DIY - also then it wont work on bsd
or solaris etc.

the difference is the symlinks ake direct duplicates of system info as a hack.
it doesnt feel clean. imho gettext does have problems like this as a system
where it doesnt work/scale. this is one solution to the issue and should work
nicely withotu making symlinks. :)
