You have got to be kidding me. Gettext designers apparently haven't thought about doing this back in 1995, when 16 MiB of RAM was enormous, 1 GiB disks were huge, and Pentium FPU was the favorite laughingstock (last bit for dramatization only). Note also that while basic Gettext workflow is tightly integrated into Autotools (single line in Makefile.am generating make targets down to extraction and merging of catalogs), nowhere was this kind of optimization suggested. -- Chusslove Illich (Часлав Илић)
