[PATCH/RFC] Auto detection in Makefile if msgfmt is not available

From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de>
Date: Feb 12, 2012, 12:42 UTC
Message-ID: <201202121342.25113.tboegi@web.de>

Since commit 5e9637c629702e3d41ad01d95956d1835d7338e0 "i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext" the Makefile demands the existance of msgfmt, unless NO_GETTEXT is defined.

This breaks the build on systems where msgfmt is not installed.

Added a simple auto-detection and switch to NO_GETTEXT when msgfmt could not be found on the system
