Here's the background.

gettext-0.16.1 is now threads aware.  In its current form, the port  
is indeed slightly broken, something that didn't come up during build  
and gnome-devel testing, and nork@ has kindly provided me with a patch.

However, I have received isolated reports that the threaded-gettext  
is causing edge case issues with other ports.

So, I am faced with something of a dilemma, since PORTREVISION will  
be bumped in either case (yes folks, y'all get to rebuild stuff,  
consider it a worldwide thrash-test of compilers ;)

1.  Make devel/gettext respect PTHREAD_LIBS, and leave the threading  
in place
2.  Disable threading entirely

I'm open to either option here, and have taken the liberty of cc'ing  
the GNOME and KDE folks since they're very large consumers.
