Summary: _locale library patch
Initial Comment:
This patch enables setup.py to find gettext routines
when they are located in libintl instead of libc.
Although I developed this patch for Cygwin, I hope
that it can be easily updated to support other
platforms (if necessary). I tested this patch
under Cygwin and Red Hat Linux 7.1.

I presume that you mean to use an
autoconf-style approach *in* setup.py.
Is this assumption correct?
If so, then I know how to search for
libintl.h via find_file(). Unfortunately,
I do not know how to check that a
function (e.g., getext()) is in a library
(i.e., libc.a). Any suggestions?

I would really prefer if such problems where solved in an
autoconf-style approach:
- is libintl.h present (you may ask pyconfig.h for that)
- if so, is gettext provided by the C library
- if not, is it provided by -lintl
- if yes, add -lintl
- if no, print an error message and continue
