You need not say sorry about this: if you use Visual Studio, it hurts you,
not me :-)

"msgfmt --csharp" tries to use 'cscc', 'mcs', 'csc', whichever it finds in
the PATH variable. So change PATH accordingly... You can use
"msgfmt --csharp --verbose" to get some more information about what msgfmt
is doing.

This file is created when you build the gettext package, with some C#
environment available through PATH. Since these .dll files are platform
independent, I can just as well attach the one I compiled on Linux, with
Mono, from gettext-0.16.1.
