GNU packages and gettext

Done.

The only port that was left to be my well-known libiconv/libintl patch
was mail/sqwebmail (PR ports/58568).

Now, there are the following ports with `charset.alias' and/or
`locale.alias' left:

It is obvious that the *iconv* ports have to install `charset.alias*'.
AFAICS nothing needs to be done with these:

./converters/iconv/pkg-plist:share/iconv/charset.aliases
./converters/iconv-extra/pkg-plist:@unexec sed '/^# BEGIN iconv-extra$/,/^# END iconv-extra$/d' %B/charset.aliases > %B/charset.aliases.new && mv -f %B/charset.aliases.new %B/charset.aliases
./converters/iconv-rfc1345/pkg-plist:@unexec sed '/^# BEGIN iconv-rfc1345$/,/^# END iconv-rfc1345$/d' %B/charset.aliases > %B/charset.aliases.new && mv -f %B/charset.aliases.new %B/charset.aliases
./converters/libiconv/pkg-plist:libdata/charset.alias

Same thing applies for `locale.alias' and gettext:
./devel/gettext/pkg-plist:share/gettext/intl/locale.alias
./devel/gettext/pkg-plist:share/locale/locale.alias

gdm2's locale.alias claims to be some workaround, so I guess this one is
fine, too:
./x11/gdm2/pkg-plist:etc/gdm/locale.alias

Finally, XFree: I can't comment on that, but I guess these are alright:
./x11/XFree86/pkg-plist:lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
./x11/XFree86-4-libraries/pkg-plist:lib/X11/locale/locale.alias

Summary: The charset.alias locale.alias conflicts issues some be solved
by my PRs. In order to prevent ports from building their private version
of gettext, some sort of automatic detection should be introduced
(either portlint or portconflicts).

Cheers,
 Simon
