Hello,

Gettext ( in C ) should normally works on mac and windows ( however i
never tried it ). For the ocaml binding, i should say that it is
working, but i need people who works on this OS to test it.

ps : i agree that it should take an optional parameter for the
localization but it do so by using some functions ( don't remember the
name but you pass a locale parameter )
