 > Larry, can I leave this to you to resolve?

 Yeah, I’ll take care of it.

 I don’t suppose you know why the [[source:trunk/dports/devel/gettext/files
 /patch-gettext-tools-Makefile.in at 19673|gettext-tools/Makefile.in patch]]
 was created? Doesn’t seem like it does anything important. I’d rather get
 rid of the patch altogether, if possible.
