The problem is rather that there are too many different versions and builds 
out there.

Windows itself doesn't have any clue about locale dependent folders. For 
internationalisation native programmes usually use a dll that only consists 
of enumerated resources and loads the appropriate dll for each language. 
The concept of gettext is quite a bit different. So gettext would have to 
know itself where to look for its files.

Actually I'm interested, too, in how gettext works on Windows. Does anybody 
know?
