Um, GDB supports gettext and message catalogs today.  What we're lacking is:
- markups (only one file's been done)
- translations (kind of predicated on the first option)
- fixes to i18n unfriendly code (using the translations should flush 
these out)
Even on _current_ non-GNU systems that don't bundle intl/ it's 
supported, the user just needs to install intl/ first.  Alternativily, 
someone, could step forward and upgrade/maintain src/intl/.
