That is a very good idea.
When internationalisation is enabled, software written with gengetopt
would also need to have gengetopt's localisation files available. I
imagine that these will simply become a package dependency in most
distros. But it would be nice to be able to choose not to have this
dependency with a command-line switch.
OK, I'll look in to making those changes.
Kind regards,
