If you are building a package with NLS, even manually, you need
gettext-devel installed for msgfmt and friends.  Therefore, this is
technically not a requirement of cygport but a build requirement of your
package, just like any other lib*-devel packages that you need to build
your package.

I feel this could be handled better, though.  Patch attached.
