build.log

Hello,

sys-apps/help2man appears to need sys-apps/gettext to build, without it it will die in the configure phase.  I've attached a build.log.

Thanks!

msgfmt is only needed to generate the gmo files, but the release tarballs ship with those, so we shouldn't need to require it

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

Commit message: Stub out msgfmt program to avoid a dep on gettext; the release ships with the gmo files already so we do not actually need the tool
