- Subject: New catgets/gencat package
I have a designed-for-Linux program that doesn't run on Cygwin because
it wants to use the X/Open Catgets message catalog functions from the
GNU C library. Searching the Cygwin mailing list, I see others have
had the same problem.
So I extracted the Catgets function (along with a bunch of utilities
it uses) from Glibc into a package of its own that works on Cygwin.
It consists of a libcatgets library, its nl_types.h header file, and
the gencat program.
Would this be a good thing to distribute as a Cygwin package?

accessing message catalogs, and gencat program for generating message
catalogs. From GNU C library; used by many programs written for Linux"
