HTFWriter.c:494:            eTAlert(EXECUTION_DISABLED);

Change this to: HTAlert(gettext("Execution is disabled."));

A typo on my part since I haven't tried all options yet.
(Oh No, ET alert! :-)

I respect your opinion, particularly on keeping down bloat. I don't
think the intl directory adds that much (3000 lines of code), and I have
promised to create distributions without the translation texts. For now,
they are in there for testing and verification. With a bit of tweaking,
we can get it to autoconfigure and install easier than it does now.
