Without getting into the GPL/LGPL debate, there is another option
that recently got released under the X license: the IBM ICU system.
Its basically a Unicode library that offers a lot more than gettext.

Downsides? I'm looking to port it OpenBSD right now, and its
build system is ... interesting. Doesn't run on as many platforms
as gettext does.
