Of course, ngettext can easily be "ported", at it's most basic level
(equivalent to GNU's C locale implentation) it's:
#ifdef NEED_NGETTEXT#define ngettext(s,p,n) gettext((n)==1?(s):(p))#endif
Or a real port function:const char* ngettext (const char*s, const char*p, int n){ return gettext(n == 1 ? s : p);}
a.
