That would seem to make the choice fairly clear.
    po files should be in utf8.

Given the choice between requiring developers to have ultra-modern
libc, and translators using a restricted subset of tools the later
seems less restrictive.  The former means that some platforms will
not be able to run dists (do all the *bsds support this ?)

Does this mean
        bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");
would no longer be required ?
