I think the ones with gettext() now are all the ones I upstreamed from Solaris
(unfortunately our project to internationalize the X clients got sidelined and
 never finished, but I thought as long as we had some done I'd push it back up
 in case anyone else was interested).   As I'm working through resyncing our
packages with the latest builds (mostly the 7.6 releases), I see we have a few
more apps with gettext calls that aren't upstreamed yet.

I can adjust to whatever works best, and a shared macro is probably better long
term.   Figuring out how to integrate with the Translation Project would also be
nice, if anyone actually wanted translated messages out of these programs.
