It's not vanilla.  :(   They added some autotools stuff, and the
default makefile doesn't have an "all" option.  Attempting to compile
it manually didn't work out after 10 minutes of poking around, so I'm
not optimistic about putting that into GUB.

Yeah, I saw that, but what's the difference between 1.2 and 1.3 ?  Is
that relevant to the freebsd binaries?  I don't have a freebsd box
handy to test things on.

The best long-term option is to use a later version of gettext.  The
safest+laziest short-term solution is to get a
libgnugetops-1.3.tar.bz2 that somebody downloaded as part of GUB
within the past, oh, 6 months?
