Yes, OK. I'll finish off my changes (I need to update the testing framework and documentation and probably a few other bits and bobs) and I'll let you know when I've got something more complete. > What is crucial though is that if no internationalization file is > available and if gettext is not part of the user's library everything is > transparent... > > Would that be possible? Yes, it should be. The code at the top of cmdline.c (or whatever is generated) includes code wrapped up inside "#ifdef HAVE_GETTEXT" so that help strings are still constructed and line-wrapped at runtime, but localisation only takes place when the user's configure.ac detects gettext. All the same, I'll test this on a system where gettext isn't part of libc. Can you suggest one that I can use for testing?
