I just confirmed that RHEL 5.6 and CentOS now ship with gettext-0.17; as
does the latest cygwin.  We obviously can't go to the latest upstream of
0.18.1.1 because it would alienate several live supported distros, but I
see no point of limiting ourselves to 0.14.x if moving all the way to
0.17 works.  Are any other popular distros stuck on something older than
0.17?
