Config file generation failure on Linux

["Grégoire Sutre" <gregoire.sutre@labri.fr>]

Hi,

Config file generation with grub-mkconfig fails on Linux when grub is 
not installed in the same prefix as gettext, since the script 
util/grub.d/10_linux.in contains:

. ${bindir}/gettext.sh

A possible patch is given below, but there are surely other ways to deal 
with it.  The patch simply falls back to echo instead of gettext if the 
gettext binary cannot be found.

Thanks for your time,

Grégoire
