What I meant is that gettext <= 0.10.35 could be compiled in a 
compatibility mode, such that the libintl functions acted as wrappers 
for the system catgets API, and the app just used the standard gettext 
API not needing to know about catgets.  So gtk+-1.2 can easily use 
catgets through the gettext package.

The po2tbl.sed.in was used to convert a .po file into the format used by 
the catgets utilities.  With the newer versions (which have extra 
features not found in catgets or other implementations of gettext), the 
compatibility code was removed, so po2tbl.sed.in is no longer needed.
