gettext and expat

[Jens Petersen]

Hi, finally got round to reporting this here:

Any thoughts on this issue from Red Hat bugzilla:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285701

it seems current gettext has problems with expat-2.0.x which moved to 
libexpat.so.1 from libexpat.so.0.

I attach a patch by Nils which is included in coming Fedora 8 which 
works around the issue.

Thanks, Jens
