The new code is in intl/lang_tdb.c and include/intl.h
It's *very* simple now, much simpler than GNU gettext. It doesn't have
as many features, but we weren't using the features that we have lost
(as far as I could see).
The big win is that you don't need to compile the msg files. They are
parsed at runtime, so to add a lang just add a msg file to the lib/
directory and it gets used automatically. It will auto-reparse it if
the file is edited.
btw, I've just deleted the old gettext code in CVS. It's a bit cleaner
now.
Cheers, Tridge
