Daniel, how do you propose to internationalize backend.c and the other
shared code using Windows language support without breaking their use in
xboard?

I don't know if gettext is as portable across Windows and Unix as we'd
like, but the Windows language support is not portable at all -- it is
Windows-only.

A quick web search for [gettext windows] finds several pages about using
gettext with Win32:
