BUG: gettext 0.14.3 build failure (has a dependency on mono port)

Description

gettext 0.14.3 fails to build with current Portfile, complaining about a missing 'mscorlib' library.

This arises if a user does not have either a working csharp environment. There are several possible solutions:

  1. have gettext build with a default '--disable-csharp' configure flag (I have gotten this to work

manually and by modifying my local Portfile copy). To accomodate the csharp capability perhaps make mono and pnet variant builds?

  1. require mono by default. (I have confirmed by installing mono first the gettext port compiles and

installs successfully. I haven't tested it though).

  1. I mention mono because so far there's something wrong on my system. I can't compile pnetlib,

which in turns causes the gettext configure process to fail.

You've got to have mono bits that configure is finding somewhere because I can't reproduce this at all (I've tried a few times and it's built fine).
