I've looked at this some more and think the best way to implement it for
Windows would be to setup the 'locale' project as an makefile-type
project that runs a batch file to execute msgfmt on each of the .po
files. And to make sure includes and linking are correct if gettext is
found, of course.

I don't think installing the .mo's falls under the build system's realm
on Windows, that's what the Windows installer will do unless I'm
misunderstanding?

Any objections, thoughts, or recommendations?
