Build relocation into libintl.

[Erwin Waterlander]

I'm using gettext/libintl now for some time. I'm using gettext ports on 
different operating systems. For the win32 port of my program I use the 
GnuWin32 port of gettext/libintl (see http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/). 
The nice thing of this port is that relocation support is builtin. This 
means that all programs that use this port automatically support 
relocation out of the box. All programs in the project are relocatable 
without modifications.

Lately I was trying the MinGW port of gettext/libintl and discovered 
that relocation didn't work. First I thought it was a bug of the MinGW 
port. But later I saw that by default there is no relocate support in 
the libintl library. MinGW uses gettext/libintl unmodified. I noticed 
that relocation support has been added separately to the gettext (and 
iconv) programs.

Isn't it a good idea to build relocation support into the library, like 
the GnuWin32 maintainers did? This way you don't have to take the hassle 
of adding relocation support to every individual program.
