New issue 1332 by percival.music.ca: missing libgnugetops; GUB uncompilable
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1332

GUB requires libgnugetops to compile gettext 0.15 on freebsd.   
Unfortunately, the freebsd people deprecated this package at some point  
this year, so we can't download it from them any more.  As a result, we  
can't make any releases.

Options to fix this are:
- get a libgnugetops-1.3.tar.bz2 from somebody's GUB download/ dir.  It  
would be nice if somebody had this lying around from their attempts to play  
with GUB from a few months ago, but it's been a few days since I asked for  
this, and nobody's stepped forward.  :(

- bump gettext to 0.18.1.1, which compiles fine for freebsd, but fails on  
mingw:

Bumping gettext is a "nicer" long-term solution, but it'll take longer to  
get it working, fix other problems arising from the newer version, etc.
