Yeah, that is the correct behaviour.

Show 5 quoted lines

Now, the last remaining issues appear to be these:

 * Is USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME=gnu the right thing for Mac OS X?  It may
   make this test pass, but does it not break other things?  Does
   Mac OS X come with a working gettext.sh to help i18n of shell
   scripts?  Does it also give eval_gettext?

 * If so, Mac OS X users shouldn't have to say that from the command
   line of "make". Do we need a Makefile update?

 * If not, what is the appropriate value for USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME on
   Mac OS X?  If the answer is not "fallthrough", do we need a
   Makefile update?

Thanks.
