The gettext file format is documented in the gettext info files; it's not
exactly rocket science. I suggest writing a new gettext runtime that could
be included in apr or apr-utils; the build could continue to use the GNU
gettext utilites, of course. This approach would also allow better
integration with apr_iconv and the like.
