I wrote this gettext stuff some day, would be glad to help enhancing it 
if there is a need. Looking for particular suggestions.

The gettext code required in SConstruct/SConscrit usually limits to
two lines (Translate() and MOFiles()). The builders are described here:

http://www.scons.org/doc/2.3.0/HTML/scons-user/a8588.html#b-Translate
http://www.scons.org/doc/2.3.0/HTML/scons-user/a8588.html#b-MOFiles

providing few more examples.

Regards!
