I see no problems. Windows supports this for printf stuff too. We could
use #define calls. I don't see many lines that we must change. The
importent file for winboard is winboard.c. All the rest are only 3% or
less text lines.

But Alper remember me, not friendly but i don't want a flame or other
stuff, that you said we're using gettext. I don't like it, but its okay
for me. We're working as team and the team said gettext :)

Importent is that we _not_ changing any internal dll stuff of windows if
we used gettext for windows. I think i don't remember you what happend
with other windows applications if we change %system%\*.dll stuff ;)
