 gettext issues on NetBSD  
 ------------------------  
   
 NetBSD includes an (old, pre-GPLv3?) version of msgfmt. This doesn't  
 have the new --desktop or --xml flags, so you'll get a build error  
 if a package attempts to use these.  
   
 There's an easy workaround:  
   
         .include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"  
   
         # msgfmt: unknown option -- desktop  
         .if ${OPSYS} == "NetBSD"  
         TOOLS_PLATFORM.msgfmt=
