Use:
make NO_MSGFMT=1
to use the msgfmt work-somewhat-alike that ships with git, for this
exact purpose. Newer versions than what you are trying to build
should be automatically detecting if msgfmt isn't available and
falling back to that work-somewhat-alike version. gitgui-0.9.2,
which ships with git 1.5.4, does have that fallback.
