Goals of his version described at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-05/msg01114.php lest
anyone wonder why there was a personal port here (I know I did). The
version most like that available now would be the ones listed at
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:
http://blog.doughellmann.com/2009/06/installing-gnu-gettext-for-use-with.html
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.
