Nice!  I need to find some time to learn how to use NLS.

Now, you only need to revive the BSD-licensed libiconv[1].  :)  I am 
kidding;  I do not want to start adding more stuff to your plate.  Thank 
you for strengthening FreeBSD's i18n support.

Out of curiosity, how does enabling NLS in libc interact with the 
devel/gettext port?
