Description
GNU gettext is used widely and only supports autotools. It also requires a lot of patches for building on Windows, which are being maintained by downstream projects.
The gettext mailing list also had discussions in 2017 about adding meson support, and there was no interest.
It would be really useful if we maintained a meson wrap that other projects could make use of.
