Yes, exactly. And as Baruch suggested, it would be excellent if we
could also use host-gettext-tiny as an alternative to host-gettext.

This will raise a few questions:

 - There are a few packages that unconditionally need host-gettext. Is
   this really true ?

 - Some packages need host-gettext because of the AM_ICONV m4 macro
   provided by gettext.m4. Is gettext-tiny also providing the
   gettext-related m4 macros ?

Overall, I believe it's not an easy task and it may take some time, but
it is definitely worth the effort, and I'll be happy to support this
effort.

Thanks!

Thomas
