Plurals and ngettext

[Christian Rose <menthos menthos com>]

I just wrote a short piece of text on the problems of plurals:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals
As mentioned there, GNU gettext since version 0.10.38 includes a
function called ngettext for solving these problems with plurals. It
would be nice to be able to use that in future versions of GNOME, so
that we can get plurals right.

However, as this is a GNU extension, I'm unsure what the level of
support there is in other gettext implementations, so it looks like a
portability problem. Opinions?
