Based on recent discussions about updating old base packages, I've gone 
ahead and redid some basic testing of gettext-0.18 since 0.18.1.1 is the 
current release (my previous attempt was with 0.18).

As noted in my last message, I was 60% sure the linuxdcpp failure with 
0.18 was a runtime failure, but I do not see that happening with 
gettext-0.18.1.1 (or at least it's not immediate, though I don't 
remember how the failure was manifested). As for gnash (the other 
package I had that didn't like newer gettext), given that firefox-x11 is 
dead and gnash by extension, I see no reason to use gnash as a blocker 
either.

The only compilation failure I got while building linuxdcpp was finding 
a bug that old clang tickled by xgettext.c and is fixed with -O0 
<http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9892>.  I believe clang is fixed 
in Xcode 4.2-final (I'm still on 4.1), so presumably 
gettext-tools-0.18.1.1 would need a BDep on that in order to remove the 
-O0 flag.

You can see my revived gettext-0.18.1.1 .infos here 
<http://cvs.snaggledworks.com/viewvc.cgi/fink/3rdparty/main/finkinfo/base/>. 
  Please test it (and modify as needed) if it's wanted for dists/stable.
