Rather than sweat why MinGW's gettext-0.17 has a dependency on libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll or rebuild gettext, it was much easier to punt and install gcc 4.4.0.

pfft for translating a unit of text strings into another language? I'd hardly want to recode the entire thing for a maintenance activity such as that. If I was going to do it, I'd pick a different, newer, more widely used language, say... Python? Wirth's languages are great for teaching, but I've never been enamored of them for production use.

Agreed regarding the rest of Wirth's ouerve.
