buildlink3.mk for devel/gettext-tools

[Eric Schnoebelen]

I'm attempting to package a piece of software that uses the
libgettextpo.so library that is part of devel/gettext-tools.

Unfortunately, devel/gettext-tools does not have a buildlink3.mk
file to include.  I've created the following using createbuildlink:

        # $NetBSD$

        BUILDLINK_TREE+= gettext-tools

        .if !defined(GETTEXT_TOOLS_BUILDLINK3_MK)
        GETTEXT_TOOLS_BUILDLINK3_MK:=

        BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.gettext-tools+= gettext-tools>=0.14.6nb1
        BUILDLINK_PKGSRCDIR.gettext-tools?= ../../devel/gettext-tools

        .include "../../devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk"

        .endif # GETTEXT_TOOLS_BUILDLINK3_MK

        BUILDLINK_TREE+= -gettext-tools

Any objections to my commiting this?

What does it use it for?

Why does it matter?  

The application is coded to use it, and trying to rip it out looks
like a lot of work (expecially given the application is written in
C++.)

In digging through the source, they seem to want to do per
session localization, basically on the fly..

The application is a XMPP transport, so there may be many
clients, all wanting to use a different localization.
