No, you got it backwards. There are only two programs -- the two MAIN programs "gettext.exe" and "ngettext.exe" -- that DON'T use the cyggettext*.dll code. There are 6 or so "development" oriented programs that DO use the code. Why include duplicate code in all those programs if it can all be stored in a shared library?
