I guess Guile is an FSF project, and the FSF is US, though, so OK. > -void=20 > -scm_init_i18n () > +void > +scm_init_gettext () > { > + /* When gettext support was first added (in 1.8.0), it provided feature > + `i18n'.

Then if someone wants to link the i18n lib statically, they can. (Note that I haven't looked in detail at the C code yet; I might do that if I get time in the next few days.)
