Crap, ignore that, I had it backwards. The gettext port actually
depends on libiconv and not the other way around.
If you do come across things that link against libintl and don't have
gettext as a dependency (whether direct or indirect), it should
probably be added as one.

After having updated gettext, I'm finding a number of ports that

For example, gsed links against libiconv, but doesn't declare a
dependency on gettext.
This is because libiconv depends on gettext so, if you've got
libiconv, you've got gettext.
The question I have is, would some of these ports have worked if
gettext wasn't installed, but just happen to link against libintl
for extra functionality if it's there?
It should because something it depends on depends on gettext
(whether it be libiconv or something else).
