Looks like it's some .NET junk from gettext-runtime/intl.csharp...

if it's .net cruft, then there should be a .dll shouldnt there ?

Seems it only gets installed when you have mono installed as well (kinda automagic), looks like the same happens for some java stuff there. 

As I don't think you'd like to introduce mono use flag, lets say it's a feature. ;)

Thanks.
