 ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/devel/gettext/README.html

 The only popular platform I'm aware of that doesn't include it nowadays is OS 
 X:

 which does mean the need to install your own hasn't completely gone away.

 Looks like all the various free BSDs are using GNU gettext now; that's what I 
 found in the NetBSD link above, and at 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/gettext/  Even Solaris aims 
 to be compatible with the GNU version as of 2004.

 I think http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ is the appropriate new link 
 destination.

Seems reasonable, thanks for the investigation!

Change applied.
