I notice that you're patching the stuff in intl/ quite extensively.
While a lot of your changes are quite sensible (using stdio rather
than file descriptors directly, for instance) I don't think it's
desirable to fork GNU gettext.  I think you'd be a lot better of by
trying to adapt the minimal gettext that the Amiga port uses.  Then
you don't have to worry about environment variables either.  8-)
