Gettext was disliked by Arpi in the beginning.  I think he changed his
mind later on.  There was a patch by Andras Mohari once that switched
MPlayer over to using gettext but that was ages ago.  I don't remember
if it was good enough for CVS.  Our solution seems to work and nobody
has come up with a better one or convinced everybody that gettext is
the way to go.  Somebody would need to do the work as well.
