Allow compilation without internationalization (gettext dependency) #7

Description

@patrickdepinguin

Currently, libuio requires gettext due to the use of internationalization of messages in lsuio.
For embedded systems that just need the libuio library, this is a heavy dependency wrt compilation time.

I am currently using a patch that stubs out the internationalization alone (see below).
Since I guess you would not just accept that patch as it is not flexible, here are two alternative approaches:

  1. provide a configure option to enable/disable internationalization support
  2. provide a configure option to enable/disable the building of the userspace tools lsuio and readuio. When these tools are not requested, there should also not be a gettext dependency.

What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
