Upgrading gettext will break for everyone who replaced the system bash with 
MacPorts'.

1. User replaces /bin/sh with MacPorts' bash, which dynamically links to 
gettext.
2. User runs selfupdate and receives new gettext Portfile.
3. User runs port upgrade.
4. Upgrade process deactivates old gettext. The replacement /bin/sh is now 
broken because libintl.8.dylib does not exist.
5. Upgrade process tries to activate new gettext but dies because /bin/sh is 
broken.
