Sorry, I don't use the info program. Don't want to learn yet another set of
commands for something I hardly ever use...

I don't understand why info pages are still used. Man pages are the good-old
way to document programs on Unix. Everybody knows how to use them. HTML is
everywhere these days and supports links, pictures, etc. So why add yet
another file format? Anyway, this has noting to do with gettext itself...

Since I don't use the info program that doesn't work.
Ah wait, I was looking in the .35 version. Apparently this is new in .36.
OK, the /doc/gettext.info-4 file contains the info I was looking for. I'll
have to add a configure check for this function.
gettext .36 appears to compile cleanly on my FreeBSD 4.2 system.
Hmm, adding this to Vim, it doesn't appear to work. Using a Japanese .po file
in euc-jp encoding works fine. Switching to utf-8 doesn't show any
translation done. I can't guess what is going wrong.
bind_textdomain_codeset() does return "utf-8".
Question: How do I know that the CODESET name is invalid? That is, trying to
use it with iconv_open() will result in failure.
Well, I know iconv() works with "utf-8", so that can't be the problem...
