Probably yeah, those libraries don’t seem to be provided in standard
with OS X or OS X’s development tools, so maybe the Makefile should
also default to having NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease when on OS X.

I don’t mind running configure, but so far Git has compiled fine
without doing it.  Should we fix the default values of NO_STRLCPY /
NO_GETEXT on OS X?
