Update of bug #66267 (group gettext):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
             Assigned to:                    None => haible

Follow-up Comment #3:

Previously I had added these Windows details in order to avoid possible
unintended GPL / LGPL violations. Since libgettextlib and libgettextsrc have
no documented API, they are unlikely to be used by other programs or
libraries; so there is no such issue for these two libraries.

However, thinking more about it: When a package contains msgfmt.exe,
libgettextsrc.dll, libgettextlib.dll, it looks like msgfmt.exe is a GPLed
program that depends on two proprietary libraries. Which is not ideal. So, to
correct this possible perception problem, these two libraries should have
"Windows details" as well.
