gettext is the GNU package which provides 'national language support'
for other programs. It includes a number of utility programs.

Feature enhancement. (Required for cygport-0.9.6)

This release is specific for cygwin-1.7.  There is, as yet, no "matching"
release for cygwin-1.5. 

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 and g++-3.4.4-999 ]]
This is important to note, because libasprintf0 is a C++ library.
Later updates MAY use g++-4.3. When (if) that happens, there will
be a backwards-incompatibile change to the libasprintf0 DLL, BUT
the dll version number, contrary to typical practice on cygwin, will
NOT be incremented. See this thread for more information:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-04/msg00034.html

Changes since gettext-0.17-10
========================================
* Enable -V option for autopoint (helps work around
  bug with packages that use both libtool and gettext,
  but specify AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION < 0.17. Because
  older gettext had a bug that caused difficulties with
  libtool, the -V option allows to automatically update
  the package to this version of gettext during the auto-
  reconf process, without manually patching the target
  package's configure.in.
