To some degree, that was intentional.  At least cygwin still ships with 
only gettext 0.17, because all versions of 0.18 are unbuildable on the 
current cygwin.

Pushing this change makes it impossible to do a bootstrap of coreutils 
on cygwin.  :(

'gettext' is used when you want bleeding edge, and requires 0.18.1. 
'gettext-h' is when you don't care about bleeding edge, and instead want 
to be portable to distros that are still at 0.17 (this includes popular 
distros like RHEL 5 and CentOS 5).  I'm not sure if we should revert 
this part of your change.
