committed new gettext-tools. A large archive is created at 
build-time, which is then used at runtime, so it does make sense that 
the compression scheme would have to be the same:) I dialed it back to 
.bz2, which is available in /usr/bin.

It looks like the new version of gettext-tools needs the xz package to be 
installed.   Do a “fink install xz”, and that will solve the missing xz command.
