Good evening,

I think it is necessary for gettext to work:
. 'let dir = None' => failure
. 'let dir = Some "locale"' => works but of course only under windows
. Proposed change seems to fail: maybe address@hidden behaves like it was under
  POSIX/gnu/linux system and doesn't acknowledge this.
  For it to work, some string

Code below seems to work better:
---
      let dir          =
        match Sys.os_type with
          "Win32" | "Cygwin" -> Some "locale"
        | _                  -> None

Sorry, this is US slang (and probably no longer only "afro-american"). Its 
meaning is close to "luck"/"appeal"/"ability". Mojo is some kind of lucky 
charm in caribbean culture (voodoo).

What I meant: if it works while I don't know what the fix is, then it may 
break again anytime. Unless you light some candle, wear some strange 
african-like medal and of course strongly believe in that stuff.

The only modification I can really recall is coercing ld/gcc into linking 
against the GTK version of gettext/libintl.

Notice that part of the mail. It was important to understand the bug reported 
in another mail.

Nota: it probably requires advanced user rights (aka power-user if I'm not 
mistaken). But maybe not. I have already seen this handled and I hope to come 
up with a fix to a still unobvious bug.

Maybe I could add the eo.po that has been discussed earlier to make it all the 
more valuable.
