The libintl issue is that some ports (including this one here) build an
internal version of libintl instead of using the system wide library
that is provided by the gettext port.
While those ports run fine, they install a file
${PREFIX}/lib/charset.alias which is overwritten by every port that does
not make use of the system wide libintl.

My patches fix two problems:
 - avoid clashing of multiple charset.alias files.
 - reduce code bloat by using the system wide (dynamic) library instead
   of using a (static) internal one.

 Simon
